Judyisms on Divorce

Divorce...is like death. All the same stages to go through. Of course, it's way more intense than death, because of the evil involved in the anger stage.

You can't really do much harm to a dead person, but an ex spouse is very much alive.

The stages are so much like death though.

The first stage being grieving..which can last for a few weeks to a few months. The second being denial...this stage in divorce can linger for years, unlike death, because you really can't deny someone is dead for too long, even if you are Norman Bates. However, in divorce, denial is the second most powerful stage. It's the most ignorant stage as well. Possibly causing more anxiety than any other stage. It can destroy a person who is weak, unless the spouse in question is honest, which rarely occurs.

The third stage is the coolest. Anger. I love that part. You become so creative in this stage. So many ways to evoke the evil side of your nature. Even the weak can come up with the best ways to make the offending party miserable. It becomes a game. Choose your favorite virtual reality game, and imagine the enemy is your spouse, same principle. You blow them up with a rocket launcher, and laugh erotically. Same thing..:)

Of course they will blow you up in a second if their in the same stage. This stage is the hardest part. Even the mellowst of people have thoughts of dismembering the ex spouse secretly. *coughs* Or is that just me?

After the anger subsides, theres a kind of calm, an acceptence of the enievitabiliy. Sometimes the grieving reoccurs, but doesn't last long.

The key to the end of all the stages is closure. When all the issues are settled, and both parties have nothing more to fight about.

Then is when a cetain depression sets in.

Shit..no one to fight with anymore..what a bummer. Time to get married again you say?...hahahahahaha
