How can I cope with a difficult spouse during a divorce?
Looking at the bright side of divorce
Often, when people think about or discuss divorce, negativity is associated with their thoughts and comments. While divorce can certainly be difficult, especially for those who are unable to secure an outcome in their favor, there may be benefits associated with the divorce process for certain people as well. For example, someone in an abusive relationship might be able to find peace and safety, while someone who simply was not happy in the marriage might feel a sense of freedom.
