How to Avoid a Divorce Nightmare!
Divorce is difficult but it doesn’t have to be scary. It can be traumatic, but you can survive and thrive. It could become a nightmare, but only if you let it… Every divorce journey is different and each person will ultimately decide their own path. But we’ve all heard horror stories of vengeful exes or lost fortunes.
"The negative effects of combat were nightmares, and I’d get jumpy around certain noises and stuff. But you’d have that after a car accident or a bad divorce. Life’s filled with trauma. You don’t need to go to war to find it. It’s going to find you.” ~ Sebastian Junger
Especially if we've been hurt, betrayed or surprised by our spouse's request for divorce, our first instinct may be to fight with everything we've got for everything they've got. However, spite, revenge and eternal haunting are probably best left to Halloween horror flicks.
Don’t do something out of spite or anger that could cost or haunt you for the rest of your life. This month’s blog includes two guest articles especially selected to help you avoid common, costly and sometimes permanent mistakes that people continue to make because they act from a place of emotion instead of one of education.
