Everything about life I needed to know I learned during my divorce!

As a counselor, we are supposed to have all the answers. People come to us on a daily basis with questions and problems. Somehow you learn how to ease the concern of the teen’s parents and cover your own reactions to the horror of man’s inhumanity to man which you see so often. Yet, when it comes to your own life, things are different. There comes a time when you don’t have the answer and you find yourself right where so many previous clients have been. You were able to help them, but somehow you can’t help yourself. Your own marriage is over. Your own children send you e-mails which would make a sailor blush. And, the one who lives his life by communicating is left speechless. This is where I found myself having been a therapist for well over 20 years. We all find ourselves in similar situations. Hopefully, others might find little life rings they might latch on to as they say…sounds familiar. Remember, we’re all in it together.
