Is it possible to have a successful divorce?
Although divorce and splitting up is not uncommon, it is inevitably a process that can trigger heightened anxiety, insecurities, resentment, sadness and grieving but also a sense of relief. During the process of separation and relationship breakup, stress can be experienced at an emotional, psychological, legal and financial level – a divorcing couple has a lot to juggle with as their vision and landscape changes permanently.
The enormity and significance of a positive separation cannot be underestimated holding in mind that parenting can also become a core contentious area and a new context to manage.
