Finding Yourself and Your Future Post-Divorce
The life-changing process of a divorce or separation affects much more than your living arrangement or financial standing. It greatly impacts one's emotions and even one's sense of identity. When one of a couple, part of your identity is built by your role in your relationship. Your friendships, interests, responsibilities, and all of the other things that you share with your spouse or partner help to build your reality. Losing this part of your identity is devastating, but you can bounce back and rediscover what truly make you happy.
Coach Karen Basgamy of Journey Beyond Divorce writes about the experiences she has with her clients regarding their personal growth. Through her work, she witnesses clients become more authentic with themselves. Even though they have been through periods of pain, loss, and change, they move forward with life and create a new reality for themselves.

Moving forward with your life after divorce is a second chance at creating the life that you desire. Using a tool such as the OurFamilyWizard® website can help you to manage your new family dynamic and maintain focus on your family's future, not its past. It does so by providing tools that aim parent attention to the important child-related details instead of digging up old conflict. OurFamilyWizard also maintains thorough documentation of every entry made by either parent. Concrete, transparent documentation helps to prevent parents from returning to court so often and gives them a better chance of resolving conflicts on their own. When parents aren't dealing with the stress of miscommunication or the anxiety brought on by having to go back to court, their children are shielded from excess stress and anxiety as well.
With less time focused on mitigating parental disputes and issues from your past, you have more time to work on rediscovering yourself and improving your future. Give yourself a chance to really get to know the face you see in the mirror. Click here to create an OurFamilyWizard account and give your family more time to focus on the future.
