Yesterday was five years since my ex husband moved out. Getting divorced is like stepping off a cliff. You have no clue as to what lies at the bottom and whether or not you will survive. It is the single most frightening decision I have ever made in my life.
Unfortunately, many people stay in unhappy relationships because they are scared of the unknown. Even more file for divorce with no clue as to what happens next or how to deal with the emotional toll it will take on their children, themselves and their lives in general.
After watching me go through what I went through and the money I had to spend just to learn the most basic information, my mother, who has been a therapist for 35 years, started to read everything she could on the subject of divorce. Along with her friend who is a family law atty, she has now decided to run a series of seminars called
Basically, in one day, people will not only learn what takes place procedurally after you file but how it will impact the family emotionally as well. It will also save people a lot of money that otherwise would have been spent in their attorney's office or with talking with their therapist.
The next seminar is on November 7th, in Rye, NY which is right outside NYC.
I feel very ill at ease posting this, A) because it's not funny and I know that this blog is humor based and B) it involves my mother but I have so much respect for what she does and I know this has been a labor of love for her so I guess sometimes you have to take a risk and for me this is one of those times.
That being said, I would be beyond appreciative if you would pass the link on to anyone you know that lives in the New York, NJ or Connecticut area that you feel would benefit from this information.
I'm closing this to comments and just want to say thank you all for reading this, have a wonderful rest of the weekend and I promise by Monday, it's back to funny or at least I hope you'll think it is funny.
