On the night it premiered in early October, I went with friends to the movie Zombieland. It was one very unlike those I usually like, but I loved it! It made me laugh more than I had in weeks. I’ve learned a lot since that night, so in the spirit of the movie I give you my first five rules for surviving divorce. I’ll add more as time goes on. Also, please remember, these are MY RULES… they work for me, even if they wouldn’t work for you…
1. Lean on your family and close friends, they can get you through anything!
2. Keep laughing ~ humor (even that which is “inappropriate”) makes YOU feel better!
3. Embrace the “new you” (even when she is totally unlike “old you”) ~ weekly girls nights, wine, spontaneous choices… the whole shebang!
4. Take the advice and opinions of others with a grain of salt!
5. It’s okay to cry, but “don’t let yourself be a victim”! (Thanks Jennifer (who doesn’t read the blog) for sharing that one with me.)

Sounds like some excellent "rules" for anyone. Once you can get that far in your head and your heart....you know you're gonna make it through!!! Love you Bloomfield MOM 2
ReplyDeleteSurviving divorce is important not only psychologically but financially as well. Trusting yourself that you CAN survive divorce will influence your outcome and your decisions from here onwards.
