No one gets married with the plan to get a divorce. Unfortunately, based on statistics, at least 50% of us will experience a divorce.

When I asked for a divorce I didn’t think it through.

I did not think about the financial impact it would have on me.

I didn’t think about the emotional toll it would have on my overall well being

I didn’t think about how it would hurt my children.

I didn’t think about the generational curse I continued with my family.

I didn’t even think of all of the years and time I had fought for us to be together.

I did not think about the love, time and energy I had invested

I did not think about all the hopes and dreams I had for us

I just wanted the pain to end and getting out seemed to be the only answer.

Looking back I wish I knew what to expect and what I would feel.

I wish I knew that it was okay not to be okay

I wish I knew it was okay to get support

I wish I knew it was helpful to talk to people who have blazed the trail before me

To be honest I was gravely under-prepared for what life had in store me after it was over.

In today’s episode I share the top 5 lessons I learned and what I wish I knew ahead of time. If you’re looking for more support on your divorce journey sign up for my free course here: http://www.nicolyawilliams.com/7stepstosurviveyoursplit-2/
