I got divorce last year after a long procedure, although not having children, everything was in my favor.
As for my state of mind, that too is a reason to be thankful, i have good days and bad days, just like everybody else. Occassionaly i get "flashes" when i remember a sight, a sound or the smell of perfume that my ex wife used to spray, but i'm not overwhelmed by them. The bad things that happened are still there, but i can live with them. I think we all have to stop and take stock of our lives at times. We need to make a conscious effort to see where we are going and what we need, and never be too afraid or too proud to ask for help. I'm actually a very stong person who took a lot of knocks before falling for a whike and perhaps falling was the best thing that could have happened to me. It forced me to stop struggling and trying to pretend i was alright and accept help. Thanks to God, the family and my Doctor, i came through it all.

This is absolutely great, courageous, and having a strong mind. I'm sure this would give a lot of courage to all those who will read this, same like mine.

You are right, so many people are afraid or feel ashamed to ask for help. We shouldn't. We all need one another. Sometimes looking a problems all alone don't help much however, when it is shared we tend to corner the problem at different angle.

We have to accept help coz it is beneficial.

I'm happy that you have overcome this tough time of your life. It would be like that from time to time, at one time you would feel ok and at other time you would feel lacking courage and unable to struggle.

In these cases, it is sometimes very difficult to cope with it alone, a helping hand and a sympathetic ears is definitely in need. And you got it at the right time.

Hi Henry, first of all, im glad that you have been recovered from your problems, which i don't think was an illness, you were just broken down and frustrated with the seperation and divorce procedures which usually occur to many of the persons going through a divorce.
Now, you should look forward for your happiness and forget about the past relations, you are lucky for having your family with you!

There is nothing that fear and hope does not permit someone to do. I think you have a lot of hope for a brighter future and has helped greatly to overcome this hard time.

Keep it up dear.
