Laura Campbell sheds light on some key emotional aspects of divorce...awareness is the first step to feeling less alone in this process!

#1: It’s a lonely road and it should be. You need time to sort through your card pile and create your new path

#2: Bad Behavior speaks for itself: it’s so tempting to dis your ex but saying less is more.

#3: Put your oxygen mask on first: in reality, our kids are as good as we are. You have to take care of yourself

#4: Nothing is fair. Stop looking for fairness and accept that you are where you are. You may not have wanted your divorce, but you’re there.

#5: There are solutions everywhere: get your team. It’s too hard to do alone.

#6: It’s all about you: This doesn’t mean selfish. It means that if you don’t take time to get yourself healthy and whole, you are no good for anyone.

#7. No way to predict the future: Hard to see beyond your immediate pain or discomfort. But many good things are coming and if you focus on the good stuff, it all falls into place

#8: Sucker Punches: something will trigger you out of nowhere and it will knock the wind out of you. You will be surprised by the emotional impact that a random moment or memory may have on you.

#9: You have so much to learn: Maybe you’re the victim of infidelity and you want to put all the blame on the other party. There is still something to learn about your role.

#10: Divorce can actually be the catalyst to a new and better life. Really! Can you imagine finding the right love for you at this stage in your life? It’s magic.
