Divorce is a common phenomenon these days and you will find many groups to join. Share all your experiences, good and bad, with the group to get it of your chest.

Start a new life. Step into a world in which your responsibilities are just to make yourself happy and work for things that you want. The deal does not sound so bad, but for those who have had a tough divorce might not agree. For them, the whole world comes to a standstill and all hope seems so fade away.
Do not let such feelings conquer your mind. Just be patient with yourself, give yourself time, and you will see that there is a lot more to life than what you knew. You will gradually get the hang of it and recover smoothly.
