In our hearts, we root to beat the odds. We want winners. We know the grave statistics on divorce. We know that a successful marriage is hard to come by, but at that magic moment we don't believe in anything but eternal happiness for ourselves and not for those whom we love. But, the dark side of marriage does exist and divorce does happen and when it does, it is a dreadful experience, one that leaves wounds never anticipated and scars that take a long time to heal.
Statistics state that as many marriages disintegrate as last.
If you watch the big or little screen, divorce may some comedic, a piece of cake, an opportunity for freedom and new growth. But, the truth is, as those who have been through the experience will attest, getting divorced more often feels like a razor's edge. Going through a divorce is an absolutely dreadful time. Getting to the point of being able to get a divorce usually requires running in psychological circles that tighten, loosen and tighten again until something inside you snaps. Getting to this point can make you feel as if you are going crazy, and for a period of time, some people do flip out.
