Divorce

The “D” in divorce stands for DISASTER, DISTRESS, DANGER, DENIAL, DISEMPOWERMENT, DISRESPECT, DETACHMENT and DESTRUCTION in the dissolution of a marriage.
Most people end their marriage as the result of some disastrous event, life happening, or emotion that has caused the marriage to break down.  No one marries simply to get divorced.

Why do people get divorced?

• They stop loving each other

• They lose interest in being married

• They don’t make enough effort within the marriage and at some point decide that “things are just not working out”

• They grow apart.

• They stop respecting each other

• They have different needs

• They are unfaithful

• They stop having sex

• The become emotionally disconnected

How to contain yourself during a divorce and, more significantly, after the divorce:

• Anger

• Bitterness

• Resentment

• Unresolved feelings

• Issues

• Hate

• Stress

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Emotions
