If Someone Is Talking About Their Spouse in Divorce
You need to ask yourself this one question
“You’re being negative,” says the woman.
I’m outraged. I’m exhausted. I am tired of idiotic people not being able to see beyond the obvious. The social hemisphere of the coupledom who inhabit suburbia and doesn’t have a clue about the experience of divorce.
Instead, they become judges and juries, they have a lot of opinions.
I want to say, “Hey, B*tch! I’m not being negative this is severe abuse.”
But it takes extremely confident and mature people to not play the narratives and stereotypes of divorce. To not say things like ‘broken home, children of divorce, taking sides, etc.’
Divorce is NOT the end of the world. It’s the unfortunate result of exhausting all of your options. It’s the bravery to start over even when you’re scared. It’s the ability to take your children out of an unhealthy environment.
It’s a strength that some have and some don’t.
What is the end of the world?
Severe abuse inflicted during a divorce. Men and/or women who are willing to hurt their children to hurt their spouse and achieve the outcome they want.
