At the end of the year, many people take stock of their lives- where they are financially, where they are emotionally, and they look to the future to see where they want to be this time next year. While divorce is never easy, I have found that most people, myself included, find that once you make that decision, and take a step to get out of a relationship that is not working, you feel an immense sense of relief. There is sadness to be sure- the loss of a marriage and of a relationship that you thought would exist "'til death to you part" is terribly sad. I also felt a little ashamed, and embarrassed (I don't want people to look at me differently because I'm divorced); but once I made the decision to get divorced and get out of a situation that wasn't making me happy, I also felt very empowered- I was taking back control of my life; taking control of my happiness; and taking control of my future. Taking that first step to getting divorced is filled with mixed emotions, but after the initial shock and sadness wear off you realize your future is now of your own making- it is your adventure and what a wild and amazing ride it can be!
Take care, Allison
