Life After Divorce Support Group
This community is dedicated to starting over after a divorce. With the marriage over, how do individuals begin a new chapter in their lives and what hurdles do they face? Divorce is often one of the most traumatic periods in a person's life. Studies show it is the second-most stressful event in life, after the death of a spouse.
well you start off ok,with the decision for the big D,try and get everything in order,then comes the time that you have to start telling people,like your boss at work,your mom,and mutual friends of yours,anxiety is determined to be there for the 1st part,then you start telling people and the anxiety hits an all time high...Because now you have to absorb and answers all their questions,the why,how come and all that..when they know all along your marriage hasn't been good for awhile now....I refuse to recieve the pity party balloon,I am sorry if people dont understand my reasons,but they are just that my reasons not theirs,this is a good thing for me,tough yes,hurtful of course,I will get thru this (I hope) but i refuse to explain it a 1000 times over,if you didnt understand the first time i told you,your not going to on the 1000 time.....
Hang in there, L~
just as I think i am doing ok my mom calls and starts asking questions Ive already answered-or that I am not ready to answer or questions I don't know the answer to-and it tends to stir up the pain
friends and family mean well and I know they are angry at how I was treated in some ways more angry about it than I am--and they get stuck on the subject of the devorce and its hard to get them to change the subject -it makes me feel like screaming sometimes
