Perusing Through The Divorce Diaries

By Tracie Knight


In the modern society, divorce has become the norm of the day leaving many families in confusion. Different methods have been considered by different persons in trying to cope with this distressing vice. Listed below are some peeks from divorce diaries.

A light at the end of the tunnel. A light of hope shines as a New Year approaches. As I am already nearing there, I am dead sure that hope is just nearby in front. It may take a shorter while or to an extent of years but I am sure as I have been through this before.

Writings on the wall. My marriage ended in such a way. It all began with endless complains whose reasons I never fathomed. What followed next was a bang. I have come to realize that i was so blinded back then to realize that the wall were plainly written.

You will never amount to anything you worthless piece of crap. These were my ex word as our marriage was still unraveling. I would like to thank him officially for those hurtful, heart piercing words for little did he know that he adding favor onto me. Through his own words he was encouraging me to climb the ladder and be something great without him of course. It now turns out that it was all I was waiting for.

Commercializing divorce. An ending marriage is never prepared by the society. Just as weddings, by now you should have thought that someone somewhere should have come with a way of turning an ending marriage into a machine for profit making. It is very sensible considering that half of the first marriages and almost three quarter of subsequent marriages end up in a divorce. It is so common that a slight nerve firm could come in and convert divorce into a gold mine.

Strangers are equal to cheap help. Those people who never knew me as I was in turmoil of my ending marriage would often ask me questions like, how were you able to do it? How were you able to get over it? Those who already knew me often do not ask since they already know as I had already told them. Then I answer these new questions which are also now common to me, I talk about it, again I talk about it, again and again. The more I keep talking over and over, I find out that am letting it out from the heart. A regular tete-a-tete, sharing with whomever at whenever for sure works.

Refrain from sharing with kids as a single parent. Ever since I turned a single mom, realizing when not to talk is a thing that I have learnt. Working hard to manage your household is among the several things that tag along an ending marriage and they must not be a nuisance. This occupation is supposed to be mine and I should not be whining to my children as to why I am doing all the work alone.

Things I am grateful - at list. In my journey to serenity, I have discovered that obtaining your sense of gladness is way important. Always counting what I have been blessed with and seeing the glass half full rather than half empty is the path am leading.

Getting into an emotional conversation with other people who share your sentiments may be beneficial since you your experience are equal. Through this you will be able to move on with the painful reality of a crumbling marriage.
