Let this be your mantra throughout your divorce. Especially if you have children!
If you don’t already know, let Divorce Angels be the first to tell you that you won’t make it through your divorce without compromising -A lot!
As with marriage, in your divorce you will need to be flexible and you will have to pick and choose your issues with care, allowing many unjust or annoying incidents to pass you by. You will quickly find that you are not able to win every argument or fight strong for each battle. If you are used to the fight, the notion of letting go may initially weigh you down but with each passing conflict you will find your mental outlook and physical health become lighter.
So what do we mean by the term “forest through the trees”?
It’s best you look at your divorce as an overall goal and not at every aspect as its’ own milestone.
You want to emerge from your divorce with a level of dignity and respect for one another. You need to be able to co-parent for the rest of your lives.
So don’t try to win every battle Don’t try to keep score. Just look at the end goal and ensure you are on track to achieving it.
If you need to let your ex win a few small battles so be it. Keep focused on your end game and we promise you will emerge a stronger, better version of yourself.
