Divorce & Change . . .

There’s just no way around it.  Divorce involves change.  How you deal with it will determine how you succeed at it.  You can fight it, or beat it, and move on with your life.  Moving Forward should give you many insights on how to accomplish same.

If you stay focused and follow your instincts I am certain you will be able to identify an unhealthy relationship, and detect "familiar" patterns before they start developing.  Also take a self-assessment.  If you feel you have travelled this road previously, than more than likely you have and you need to turn down a different street towards other, new relationships:

Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

Chapter 1                     I walk down the street.

                                                There’s a big hole in the sidewalk

                                                and I fall in. I’m lost, I am helpless.

Chapter 2                          I walk down the same street.

                                                There’s a big hole in the sidewalk.

                                                I pretend I don’t see it and I fall

                                                in  again.  I can’t believe I’m in the same

                                                place, but it isn’t my fault.

                                                It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter 3                       I walk down the same street.

                                                There’s a big hole in the sidewalk.

                                                I see it’s there and I still fall in.

                                                It’s a habit, but my eyes are open

                                                and I know where I am.

                                                I see it’s my fault and I get out immediately.
