Divorce is not the end - it is the beginning |
|
Where did society go so wrong? It has labeled almost 50% of the population as failures because they divorced. If divorce is bad, then the people getting divorced must be bad; if they are bad, they deserve to suffer. Right? WRONG!
Divorce is neither bad nor good – it simply is. How we move through divorce will define it either way. Divorce is a transition, an event in your life – it does not need to define your life. It comes with certain endings, of course, but more importantly, it is about new beginnings. If you move through your divorce as an empowered decision maker, you will lay the foundation that will stand the test of time. You can put a plan in place that will help you and your children of divorce transition peacefully. Surround yourself with people who can help you. You need both those who tell you what you “want” to hear (friends and family who are on “your” side) and you need those who tell you what you “need” to hear (counselors, financial and parenting advisors). Ensuring you have a well rounded, realistic perspective will have a positive impact on your outcomes.
