Questions & Answers
Helpful Tips & Facts
  1. Finding a Therapist or Counselor
    Finding the right counselor or therapist is not difficult. Clergy, doctors, and lawyers are professionals who may be in touch with the right people.
    Community mental health agencies, family service organizations, college counseling and school services, the YMCA-YWCA, and hospital out-patient clinics are also worth a call.
  2. Emotional Aspects of Divorce and Separation
    Divorce turns life upside down because it affects every area of life. More than a marriage goes under in a divorce. Family, friends, relationships, identity, routines -- all are fractured and broken when the waves of divorce break the ship called a marriage. Expectations of the future, finances, self-esteem and self-confidence -- all become so much debris on the high seas of a marital breakup. It’s no wonder that one writer calls divorce "crazy time," and it takes most people a long time to get over. In fact, some people never do.
