Divorce and the Power of Social Media

Divorce and the Power of Social Media The reality is that divorce is tough enough without having the immediacy of social media outlets being some kind of a “go-to” for you to purge your frustrations and heartbreak. By  Michelle Moore, PhD   Updated: April 05, 2023 Categories:  Coping with Divorce ,  Divorce Recovery ,  Legal Issues Oftentimes people turn to their social media platforms as a mode of informing and communicating every thought, usually, at the moment the thoughts occur. This can be a slippery slope when you are in the middle of a divorce. Your emotions may be heightened  and a social media site may feel like the perfect place to throw an icy comment about your soon-to-be ex-spouse. The reality is that divorce is tough enough without having the immediacy of social media outlets being some kind of a “go-to” for you to purge your frustrations and heartbreak. The consequence is then having to deal with the cost of that outburst, both emotionally an...

Managing Emotional Hot Buttons Can Help You Reduce Conflict: Here’s How To Do It If you're looking to minimize conflict and move toward compromise, anticipating the issues that will likely trigger you and your spouse / ex will help you de-escalate the situation.  By  Andra Davidson   Updated: April 07, 2023 Categories:  Children's and Parenting Issues after Divorce ,  Co-Parenting after Divorce ,  Coping with Divorce ,  Divorce Process ,  Divorce Recovery Reducing Emotional Hot Buttons What is a Hot Button? According to Merriam-Webster, a  Hot Button is an emotional or controversial issue  or concern that triggers an immediate, intense reaction. Managing them can have a significant positive impact on the process and outcome of divorce. Blame it on our Lizard Brain Our “Lizard Brain” is the ancient survival mechanism that manages our fight/flight response when our ego, image, or self-esteem is threatened. When this part of the brain kicks...

The Who, What, When, Where, and How of Talking About Divorce

The Who, What, When, Where, and How of Talking About Divorce MAY 29, 2015 BY  DIVORCE WHIRLWIND Is sharing our divorce stories always a good thing? Shouldn’t we understand the who, what, when, where and how involved — so we don’t inadvertently damage our futures and embarrass our children, not to mention make others wildly uncomfortable? And the “why?” Exactly what are our reasons for sharing divorce stories? Sometimes, it’s to help each other. (Isn’t that what we do here?) Sometimes, it’s a means to articulate experiences that we’re struggling to understand. Sure, there are times when the “why” couldn’t be more clear.  Talking about our challenges helps . For example, we’re contemplating divorce and we need the trusted ear of a friend. Or we’re in the midst of legal proceedings and talking about our problems eases the sadness and confusion. Or we’re in that first challenging year of co-parenting friction and our options feel like ulcers, antidepressants, or venting. So what a...

What Was This Guy Thinking Getting Engaged In Front Of His Kids?

What Was This Guy Thinking Getting Engaged In Front Of His Kids? By  Jackie Pilossoph ,  Founder, Divorced Girl Smiling, Former Chicago Tribune Columnist and Features Reporter, Huffington Post Blogger and TV News Reporter Getting engaged can be really special, and there are so many romantic ways people can propose: on a boat, in a park, at a romantic dinner, on vacation, or my favorite–in the place where you met or fell in love. Getting engaged, especially for a  second marriage  is such a beautiful occasion, and something that the couple will remember forever.   Second marriage engagements are very special. It is inspiring to me to hear stories of divorced couples finding love again and living happy, healthy lives in a second marriage. But, when I heard about a divorced man who got engaged to the woman he cheated with and left his wife for in front of his young children, I felt sort of disgusted. I have several reasons for feeling this way.   First of...

Comparing Your Divorce To Your Girlfriends’ Divorces?

Comparing Your Divorce To Your Girlfriends’ Divorces? By  Jackie Pilossoph ,  Founder, Divorced Girl Smiling, Former Chicago Tribune Columnist and Features Reporter, Huffington Post Blogger and TV News Reporter Are you comparing your divorce to your girlfriends’ divorces? Don’t and here’s why: Because every  divorce case  is unique. I want to start off by explaining that there are six people who will determine what happens in your divorce: 1. You. 2. Your Ex. 3. The mediator. 4. His lawyer. 5. Your lawyer. 6. The judge. Let’s start with the judge. If you get  a judge  who is traditional, he or she might make decisions that will benefit the woman in the divorce. If the judge tends to have a soft spot for single dads, it could benefit the man. Then there’s  your mediator.  If you have a good one, your divorce has a better chance of really good outcome for both you and your ex, and of course, your kids. And both of  the attorneys : If yours or y...

How to Win at Divorce–It’s The Small Wins That Matter

How to Win at Divorce–It’s The Small Wins That Matter By  Michèle Heffron ,  Divorce, Relationships and Life Coach, Divorced Girl Smiling Trusted Professional Want to know how to win at divorce? It’s the small wins. When I think about  celebrating small wins,  it reminds me of a story from a client who we’ll call Mary. Mary was  navigating her divorce with the weight of the world on her shoulders , feeling overwhelmed by the unknown. She wasn’t sure where to start, and every day felt like one more step on a never-ending uphill climb. Like many, she was stuck in the idea that her life wouldn’t be okay until all the pieces fell perfectly into place. But here’s the thing: waiting for that perfect “big win” before allowing yourself to  feel proud or happy is a trap.  You’re not just surviving until that day arrives.  You’re growing. Expanding. Becoming someone stronger, someone wiser. And that deserves recognition every single step of the way. One aft...
