I'm getting a divorce. There I said it. I'm...getting...a...divorce. (exhale.....) Up until now this has not been public information to many people, but it's not exactly a secret. The purpose of this blog is not to make my beeswax public. The purpose is to discuss the consequences that go along with a person's decision to go through with a divorce.
1. Financial Hardships- There an old blues song that says "It's cheaper to keep her." Baby, they ain't never lied. Divorce can absolutely wreck havock on your finances. That is all.
2. Friendships-No matter how cool you are with your friends or your mate's friends, they will choose their teams once they get word of your separation/divorce. This is especially true with
C-H-U-C-H (I know. I intentionally left out the "R" for emphasis) folks. It's ugly. It hurts. It's life.
3. Self-Esteem (Sorry, I ran out of F's)-I love me some me, but this ordeal has made me think some crazy thoughts about...well...me. Am I worthy of love, will I ever love again? Am I important to anyone? Now on my best days, I know the answers to these questions but on my worst days........that is all
4. Public Perception- Let me cut to the chase. Going through a divorce is like having the bubonic plague, or having a third breast. People treat you differently, like you didn't fight, or try, or pray, or sacrifice. But they don't know.......
With all that said. I will be fine. If you are going through a divorce as well, you will be fine. I find peace in knowing that God loves me, cares for me, sees my tears and knows my heart. That is all....
Rest.......
