Ep. 42 From ‘I Do’ to ‘I Don’t’ - The Beginning of the Divorce Journey

This week Ang is going back to the beginning and looking at how to navigate the early days of separation. It is a time when you are bombarded with emotions, which can affect your behaviour in so many ways. In this episode, Ang gives her advice on how best to manage your emotions, look after yourself, and your children, so that the pain and discomfort of a separation can be somewhat managed and put you on the road to a happier, healthier future. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you finally make the decision to separate you will be overcome with a variety of emotions. Ang explains why it is important to recognise these feelings first, before you act on them.
• If you have children, then the conversation you have with them about your separation will be a difficult one. Ang gives her advice, born from experience, on how best to approach this conversion with them.
• Once your children learn of the separation they will be overcome with emotion, just as you were. Ang discusses how best to guide them through this period. 
• One thing that is often overlooked when going through a separation is yourself. Ang stresses the importance of being kind to yourself and accepting what is happening. 

BEST MOMENTS

“The moment you realise your relationship is ending it can bring about so many confusing and overwhelming emotions.”

“Whatever you are feeling, know that your feelings are valid.”

“When talking to your children, avoid blaming your partner.”
