Surviving Divorce

Recently I have worked with many individuals going through a divorce. I have learned something from my clients that I believe all people going through divorce should know. Divorce is an attack on the soul. It makes us question our own value. We often ask how could someone we once loved do this to us? The answer I found surprised me. People hurt others because they have to justify what they are doing. In addition, divorce can bring out the worst in the good people. Here is my point. If you have been through a divorce or are going through a divorce realize that during a divorce people do and say things that hurt their spouse. If you can step back long enough to realize that you are a person of great worth you will have begun the healing process. Further, if you do not engage in the blame game you will also heal sooner.
