Your self-esteem - what you think of yourself in relation to other people - is the basic secret of your success or failure in life.
It's really as simple as that... Think well of yourself, and you'll do well. Think disparagingly of yourself, and you'll probably not do very well at all.
Regardless of whether you're the perpetrator or the victim, the experience of going through a divorce is going to damage your self-esteem. In fact, the blow dealt to one's self-esteem by divorce is lethal enough to drive anyone to the brink of insanity.
What you must do is think of your divorce - the end of your marriage - as you would the death of a loved one. Basically, that's what it is!
There is a period of burial or of letting go; a period of feeling guilty because you didn't do or say all the things you might have; a period of anger because it didn't work out the way you dreamed it would; a period of reconciliation in which you think maybe if you try again, it'll all work out; and finally, a period of acceptance.
Everyone who has ever been through a divorce or is still recovering from one, has either lived through each of these "recovery stages," or is still in one of them. It's all normal, and a part of the necessary healing that has to take place before you are able to recognize and enjoy happiness again.
Even so, the most important and the very first thing you must do following the break-up of any kind of relationship, is to get started on the rebuilding of your self-esteem.
