I’m still waiting for my divorce process to complete it’s weary trudge through the court system. For me the breakup of my marriage hasn’t been a single tunnel, more like a series of tunnels, some deeper and darker than others. Every time I emerge into the sunshine I think ‘that’s the end, things will be better now’ – and then I plunge back into another dark place. However, the tunnels are becoming shorter, and the light brighter in between, and I know my life is better without him. It’s a difficult journey and one that people don’t like to talk about. Thank you for your post.
