Deciding to Divorce: Prioritizing Self-Care Over Staying for the Kids

 

Hi Friend!

In this blog post, I want to explore a crucial decision many face: choosing divorce, even with children in the picture. As a divorce coach who once grappled with this dilemma, I understand the emotional complexity involved. Join me as I share my journey and why I ultimately prioritized my own well-being over staying in an unhappy marriage for the sake of my children.

For years, I found myself trapped in a marriage that no longer fulfilled me. Despite the love fading, I convinced myself that staying together for the kids was right. But as time passed, I began to realize the toll it was taking on all of us.

Witnessing a strained, loveless relationship isn't healthy for children. They absorb the tension and unhappiness, which can have long-term effects on their perception of relationships. I couldn't bear the thought of modeling an unhealthy dynamic for my children.

Moreover, I was neglecting my happiness and personal growth by staying in a loveless marriage. I understood that prioritizing my well-being and my ability to be a good parent was essential.

Thus, I made the courageous decision to pursue divorce. Though challenging, it brought relief and a newfound sense of empowerment. I prioritized my happiness, knowing it was the best decision for myself and my children.

To those facing a similar decision, remember this: prioritizing self-care isn't selfish. Sometimes, it's the most loving choice you can make for your family's well-being.

Divorce isn't easy, especially with children involved. But it can be the start of a journey toward a healthier, happier future for everyone.
