Divorce

Some people hope marriage will be in their future, along with children and a life built with someone they love. It is something they seek that will last forever, but rarely is the idea of divorce factored into these hopes and dreams. Everyone has the belief that divorce could never happen in their lives and they will make their marriage work no matter what the cost or circumstance.

Sometimes, the unthinkable happens, and one person in the relationship changes, one person wants out, situations become unbearable, or sometimes it is both partners. No matter who makes the decision, it is one of the most difficult choices to make.

This period of challenges is a true time to THINK. One must think whether it is the right time, how it will affect their life, the lives of children if they are involve, family, friends, etc.

Divorce affects everyone. Personally, I lost a large number of my friends during my divorce.  People simply don’t know what to say, what to do, or how to act around you afterward. Those who were your friends for years become strangers, some treat you like you have a contagious disease and refuse to come around. Others simply don’t call again.
