The Catharsis of Divorce

I read many women's blogs all in various types of relationships; some just blossoming, some satisfying, some not, some happily married, some unhappily married, some divorced.

It seems that the real difference in the relationship boils down to this; those happy in their relationships feel like they are enhanced by their situation, those unhappy feel like they are losing a part of themselves... and they'll miss what they have lost.

When I first began talking openly about my Divorce, a wise woman told me that once all the money has figured itself out, once you've moved on and stopped ruminating over and over again, you get back that part of you that you lost and sometimes you'll find parts you had forgotten about.

I've rediscovered art. I've rediscovered my independence. I've rediscovered my slightly abrasive attitude.

You know what? I think I love it.

What have you lost and found at the end of a relationship?

I have lost the expectation of growing old with someone who knew me when I was still full of hope, excitement, passion untinged by any bitterness. I have lost the expectation that I will not have to work until I'm 67.

I have found that I can say what I want without getting any looks or discussions. I have found that I can buy a car by myself without being taken advantage of (at least not too much).
