Divorce Sucks!!!!
| Tue, 03-29-2005 - 2:12pm |
Here's why:
~*I lose my best friend (that was what my husband was when we were going strong).
~*Change BIG scary change is going on in my life. (I don't know if I am ready but here it is happening before my very eyes.) This change is happening because of us splitting up and this being the only way I can pay the bills.
~* I feel bad, lost, and unhappy as a result.
~* I'm very scared (almost paralized by fear)
Wow, I don't feel so good I wish I could cry or yell at someone.
I will say it again: This really sucks!!!!
Blessing to All,
Anna

Yep, divorce does suck and change (for me) is not a good thing. But sometimes change is good and can open so many more doors for you. Instead of writing all the negatives about divorce down, write some positives. Such as: I can eat cereal for dinner if I want, I can lounge all day in my pj's without a care, the house may be messy-but its my mess, etc.....I know this helped me alot when I was leveled by all the changes happening.
Focus on you and make some new goals just for yourself. Do something for you every day--even something "minor" like: buying new perfume, doing your nails, buying a new pair of pants.
Hang on tight-it is a rough ride, but I promise you it WILL level out in time....

Hi Anna..... debs is right..... posting here, journaling, screaming in the shower (or crying--that's what I do).... whatever you need to do to get it out... BUT.... when I journal (and usually when I journal it's because I have something negative to rant about) I always write down at least one positive thing.... even it it's something as simple as "and I'm still breathing" or "the sun was nice today"

Oh yeah, divorce sucks BIGTIME.
but please remember, EVERYTHING happens for a reason and God NEVER gives us anything we cannot handle.
I thought divorce was the end of my life. I fought long and hard to keep a man who didn't want me. I look at it as I lost those months of my life, not in those months did I lose my life. No way would I let losing a man, best friend, father to my children and biggest supporter dictate how I would be for the rest of my life. I am OK right now, 19 months after the day he left. I have even begun a life with someone else.
It will be ok, remember, EVERYTHING happens for a reason. Start making those reasons today.

yeah its weird im reading angelenas post and thinking about a discussion i was having with my SO the other day. my divorce was AWFUL, the worst thing i have ever gone through.
but it made me so much stronger, and honestly i wouldnt change a thing about my life now.
it was so hard but i wouldnt have the kind of life i do today if i hadnt been married and then divorced. i have learned so much, which sounds really stupid im sure if youre still going through it.
but i wouldnt be the person i am now if my life had gone as planned, and im pretty glad for that. i wouldnt have matured enough to meet my SO and have a great relationship with him. i wouldnt have developed the focus i have now on whats important to me.
just thoughts.
and great thoughts they are.
