Unexpected Consequences to Filing for Divorce
Posted: October 13, 2010
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are five of the possible stages you might go through when your marriage is ending. Even if you wanted the divorce, you may find yourself feeling angry and depressed. Sometimes divorce brings unpleasant consequences you did not anticipate. You thought that your wife would be reasonable and want to co-parent your children with you, but instead, she insists you never were an involved father and fights every attempt you make to be with your children other than every other weekend. You believed that your husband would be happy you decided to finally seek a divorce and not expect you to go to work fulltime right away. However, you are stunned when in spite of the fact you have three young children, your husband expects you to get a job fulltime right now. He thinks well, you wanted out, so you better start contributing financially. The divorce process can be surprising to both parties. Both people may need some counseling or a support group. An internet search will also provide some materials to help you understand the process. Just Google: "divorce and stages of grief."
