Divorce

It is the dream of many women and men to be happily married. And at most weddings, the bride and groom are happier than they’ve ever been. They wholeheartedly believe their relationships are one of a kind, their love is insurmountable, their spouses are irreplaceable and their marriages are something that will happen once in a lifetime. However, while many people go into a marriage feeling this way, unfortunately, many struggle to get out feeling quite disillusioned… Spouses can’t agree. Maybe the husband has lied or the wife cheated. Perhaps a child has passed away. And then blame is placed. And the marriage is no longer a priority. Instead negative images constantly fill one’s head. The “D” word is spoken, and the relationship is broken.
However, even after a divorce, many people are still disillusioned. Happiness is not yet achieved because people struggle with their choices, they want to know if they did the right thing, and they want to figure out how on earth they’re supposed pick up the shattered pieces of their lives and move on. It’s an extremely difficult process, especially if the divorce wasn’t mutual and children are involved…
