How long do Divorces usually last?
| Sun, 02-18-2007 - 12:58pm |
I have a friend and he is going through a divorce. Yes I am a W who is friends with a M and that is it just friends. I just didn't want anybody to get the wrong impression. I was just wondering how long an average divorce with children lasts. I just wanted to know how long he was going to be in his depressing funk. and wanted to know how long he it was going to be until he is himself again.

I'd love to say that in 28 days and 23 hours he'll be out of the funk but it just doesn't work that way, everyone has their own process to work through.
But I will say this, nobody goes BACK to the way they were. They are forever changed by their experience. I know I was. I am a changed individual because of the divorce, the experience of my marriage, my husband cheating and the process of the divorce.
It took me about 11 months to go through counseling and come out a whole person on the other side, but i know I changed and it was definitely for the better. But I'm a little harder, I'm not as naive and I'm much stronger of a person for the experience, so I am definitely not ms. doormat as I was previously. So if anyone expects me to be the same old person I was before they are going to be mistaken. I'm not the same old girl that they could walk over before.
