Divorce changes your life forever. It teaches you things about yourself that you would never have known otherwise.
Divorce teaches you…
…that you are capable of much more than you ever thought you were.
…that being strong is easy when you believe in yourself, and almost impossible when you don’t.
…that actions are much more important than words.

…that good friends are an invaluable source of strength.
…that some friends are not worth keeping.
…that money isn’t the source of all happiness.
…that forgiveness is a difficult and long process.
…that anger is part of the healing process.

…that no matter how bad your life is, there is someone pretty close by whose life is far worse.
…that it’s important to use caution before you fall in love.
…that emotional infidelity can be more dangerous than physical infidelity.
…how much you never knew about the person you trusted with your life.

…that possessions are a poor substitute for love.
…that hindsight isn’t always 20/20.
