The rebound

I know, this may seem foolish to you but it is truly not. I learned yesterday that Kermit the frog is dating again. My last blog entry was on  how society and the media appear to encourage and normalize breakups. It is as if relationships are not meant to last. You know there is a problem when cartoon characters are separating and divorcing. Now, really, why?
So Kermit is dating Denise. Denise looks very similar to Miss Piggy except for Miss Piggy's diva flavor. It is very obvious that Kermit is on a rebound since he is dating someone that looks just like Miss Piggy. As a professional who focuses on  relationships and divorce, a separation/divorce is akin to death. In essence it is the death of a relationship and there needs to be healing. 
So, the powers that are manipulating this Kermit / Miss Piggy separation are now manipulating and creating a situation that is encouraging more dysfunction. It is believed that depending on the length of a relationship, there needs to be sometime for healing which truly has no time limit but should be at least one year and more if the relationship was a long time relationship. In short, Kermit has no business dating right now. Also, the fact that Denise looks just like Miss Piggy proves it.
Yes, I know that I am carrying on about two puppets but since they are available for discussion then I use them to highlight dysfunctional behavior after divorce. I still have issues with that fact that the powers that be in the media are encouraging divorce and the break up of relationships. I truly find that problematic. Again part of  the "throw it away and get a new one." It does feed a capitalist society since people starting new lives will need to buy many things and utilize professional services every time they start new but that comes with a human price. The price of pain and suffering and not just for the people breaking up but for the extended family, the children and even pets. Again, I urge everyone to be mindful of the messages that the media is sending us. We have the power to reject these ideas and not buy products associated with this dysfunction. It may be silly but if you start looking at this deeper is starts becoming morose; not cute or funny. It well known that rebound relationships don't last and why involve Denise in this situation? Both Kermit and Denise are going to end up hurt. Kermit is not ready to date yet.
