ABOUT A GOOD DIVORCE BEGINS HERE
Transitions in marriage are not simple things. Good transitions even less so. I get it. I lived it. I know.
There is always one who loves more than the other. There is always one who gets hurt more than the other. There is always someone who’s happier at the end. No matter how well exits are planned, things can still get crazy. Divorce can be a punch in the mouth if you don’t handle it right.
So what is a good divorce? It is the transition you survive without losing your mind. It is the experience you look back on thinking, “That wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.” It is the challenge that costs you innocence without stripping you of your will to love again. It is the end of one relationship with the person you married and the beginning of another.
Your divorce does not have to be a bad divorce. It doesn’t have to break you, spiritually or otherwise. It doesn’t have to be the end of everything you knew or divide friends and families into camps. Your marriage can just end if you want it to just end. Even if it’s not your choice, it is your option.
This is my take on how to make that happen.
