Thanks for sharing your thought, Elizabeth. At least, you're still friends with your ex husband. I think it's just pretty normal to feel a little weird over the divorce 'coz it's a personal thing. Regarding those stuff that he left on you, it is advisable that you both talk things over with lawyers so splitting properties is fair. I know it's been almost two years now, so how's your new life?

In both my divorces, we managed to avoid the “angries” to be honest, in marriage #2 there had been enough angry times that by the time we were through, we were gracious, and humble and ready to wish the other the best. I think each couple and individual in the couple is unique and we only end up in the “angries” if we buy into the belief that that HAS to happen.

I'm not being pollyanna here Dr and I do respect your experience, but I've had a TON of growth and learning as a result of 2 unmarriages and as odd as it sounds, I wouldn't change it for anything because that's how I got to where I am today – madly in love in a solid, adult, and ever growing partnership.

Divorce is weird. and it's freeing. but it is important to own the feelings as you feel them and NOT try to keep a chin up for anyone else. In both my divorces there were no children to “be strong” for, but there were friends, family and even outsiders that somehow I felt responsible to. I also learned a lot about blame. blame doesn't work. Great video and thanks for sharing! (i'd love to see your “follow up” in a couple of years after living divorced for a while too)

What an inspiring post, Elizabeth! I started reading your blog very recently and stumbled upon this post and felt compelled to comment. I completely agree with you - you don't have to be happy all the time. I really admire your strength in your transparency and sharing your tough times with the world.

Although I'm not going through a divorce, I'm not even married, I am broke. I quit my awesome job, moved to a new state, can't find a job in my new state, and I'm broke. I'm working retail making no money and it sucks. But I almost feel ashamed to talk about it because I feel like I'm diminishing my talents by admitting a sense of defeat.

Which I know will eventually change. But I just want to say you inspired me, so thanks!
