That’s what it feels like sometimes isn’t it? I’ve been through two divorces and both times it was like my whole life had been tossed in a blender set on “puree”. As if ending a marriage isn’t stressful enough you have lawyers involved, your finances are put in jeprody, your children are devistated, half your friends treat you like some sort of pariah and your worse enemy is someone who knows all your weak spots. FUN TIMES!!! So how do you survive it? I ‘m not talking about legal strategies here . . I mean quite literally how do you survive actually going through a divorce? Some guys don’t! I recently happened on a site out of Austrailia called Dads In Distress (http://dadsindistress.forumup.org/) it’s focus is on supporting men going through a divorce in order to reduce their risk of suicide! I think they have a good idea as does the site you are currently on. The key to survival for each man going through a divorce is finding his own supports; don’t let yourself become isolated!! Whether it’s family, friends, co-workers, the guys on your bowling league or a blog like this one it’s crucial to find people who will listen and who will be there for you. Because what you are going to go through will be one of the toughest times in your life and no matter how self-sufficient you think you are you’re going to need someone to bounce ideas off of and unload on. At least that’s what helped me survive both of my turns in “The Blender”.

Yeah, it’s like walking a tight rope and sometimes you feel like the net is lined with razors! You don’t dare make a mistake. But your only human, your bound to. It so hard to make every decision right.
You’ve got your future to consider. You’ve got kids to consider (you know they are watching and considering and are going to remember how you handle every little thing!). There are legal matters (and if you are like me, you may have never had to deal with legal issues before in your life!), financial matters, mortgages, custody, visitation, etc. etc. etc.
And it’s all out there in the open for the lawyers and judges and clerks and anyone else to see!
Grin and bear it…..I guess.
