Thankfully there were no serious injuries to any of us.  My wrist hurts even as I type this and we might have...

For me personally, my divorce experiences steered me to working in a totally different way than I had anticipated. I had two children and no family around to help. I had to drop out of courses during divorce number one and had to quit one job during divorce number two and opt for a part-time position...

Relationship Breakdown – Whatever we Accept…

Posted by on Mar 12, 2013 in Blog, Family Mediation, When Divorce Happens | 0 comments

  “Whatever we accept we move beyond “ Eckhart Tolle One of the most vital steps to healing and recovering from your divorce or relationship breakdown is to accept what is.  Sounds so obvious doesn’t it?  Well,  you will be surprised how many women still harbour anger, hate and resentful feelings towards their exes because of what they did in the past and I’m talking years later.  How many still want him back? What either of these scenarios means is that you are living in the past, you are looking for something you once had and you might say to yourself...
