In the book True story of my divorce written by Merlene Bishop is based on a true divorce. Merlene tells us that there are 5 stages to a divorce shock, denial, sadness, anger, and acceptance and although everyone goes through these steps they may not be in this order. I know that they say you should try everything in your power to avoid a divorce that marriage is a covenant of God but sometimes it just isn’t possible to avoid. I know myself from experience that divorce can be difficult and though I did not have children it did not make things any easier. I gave my marriage all my strength and in return he gave me terror and pain. If you have children make sure that they are loved and reassure them that they are loved by both parents. So for the five stages to a divorce I went through them all. I was shocked that my husband could be so mean and hateful. I was in denial that these horrific things were happening to me. I was sad that the man I thought loved me turned into a monster. I was angry that he could do these awful things to me. I accepted that no matter what I did there was nothing left but divorce. This true story hit close to home for me as it is a book I would recommend for anyone who doesn’t understand why they are getting divorced.
