Are you struggling to move forward after divorce?
You might be asking yourself what went wrong. Or, what you did to contribute to the conflicts in your relationship. You may not want to get divorced but felt like you had no other choice.
Or, you might know exactly what went wrong and you know that divorce was the best decision for you and your family. But, you're still scared about what the future holds. You might feel alone, confused, or angry about the way things ended.
If you have children you also might worry about how this will affect them. How will your relationship with them change? Will they be angry with you? Or will they want to pick sides?
Odds are, you have what feels like hundreds of conflicting thoughts and feelings running through your head. You might feel so overwhelmed by all the uncertainty that you don't know how to move forward.
You don't have to figure this out all on your own.
