DIVORCE 411 APRIL 2015 | 页面 6

D I V O R C E 4 1 1 Most people who are going through a divorce are actually leaving behind a negative relationship, even if they don’t realize it at the time. They may have gotten comfortable in a routine that was dragging them down. We often mourn the loss of our DREAM of a perfect marriage, rather than the relationship we actually had. You can still have your dreams if you stay focused, take care of yourself, and prepare yourself for the new life ahead of you. Don’t let your ex hold you back from enjoying your future; you deserve all that life has to offer. Remember, when things feel like they are falling apart….they may actually be falling into place. Life is what you make it, so make it a great one!!
