Part of dealing with the divorce situation is accepting the permanency of the divorce and waiving the desire to rebuild the original family and the parents’ marriage.

Acceptance is connected with the ability to understand the needs, experiences and motivations of the parent as independent from those of the child.

This stage includes a solution to the question of relations with the parents and the children’s trust in their ability to develop future relationships with others and to be loved and loving persons.

When things are tough and there is no way in which to change a situation, all that is needed in order to handle the pain is to change the attitude, to forgive and to accept.
It’s much easier said than done.

Our hope is that the above message, transmitted in the epilogue to the game, will provide another level in the quest of life to achieve this possibility.

I am certain that every professional, parent and child will find topics and episodes that they can connect to, and there will be topics and points of reference that they wish had been included: the very topics we decided to leave out of the game.

Just as there are no perfect families, people, or divorces; there is no game that can cope with all the issues and provide all the answers.

We hope this game offers enough food for thought, fun and stimulation, and that it will raise questions and surprises that will reinforce an optimistic attitude in the future.

Divorce, then - is not a game.
Divorce is a hard and painful process.
Earthquake in Zipland is a game.
