Dear Divorce Guru

Dear Divorce Guru,

My daughter and son-in-law are divorcing and they have two kids. I have been crying for months.  My daughter has initiated this.  He has the money, the house and the kids, while she has pretty much lost everything. I tried to talk to my son-in-law last night and he hung up on me. My husband will not talk about it and has closed down. He is mad at his daughter.  I cannot talk to him.  I feel so isolated.

Dear Troubled,

First of all you/her have not lost anything! It is all in your perspective and nothing more or less. Trust me - I know. You must stop the stinking thinking and find a way to be positive and shift your thoughts -- you do this and everything will shift-- I promise. Everything happens for a reason and you must trust that there is a good reason and know that the future will reveal it when it is time. If you stay positive and proactive vs reactive this journey will be a blessing. I have worked with thousands of people in divorce and it is all perspective. Our thoughts create energy and our energy creates our lives. So decide to take a different approach. Tell your daughter she is wonderful and she will make it through this. Tell you she is strong and can handle everything that comes her way - be her cheerleader.
