Accepting That a Relationship is Over

With the COVID crisis taking away the outlets people use to relieve pressures of an unhappy relationship, many spouses who were considering divorce before now suddenly find themselves saying "I can't take this anymore."

The revelation often takes the other spouse completely by surprise. In this situation, it is critical to help that partner understand that the relationship is over, but with a collaborative divorce process, no one needs to be enemy.

Accepting that a Relationship is Over:

an Honest Conversation About Divorce

In the video below, Andrea Vacca teams up with "Speak Your Mind" host Dr. Risa Ryger and Jan Mercer Dahms, Vice President of the Mayshad Group for Women's Development, for an honest conversation about divorce and how the process can be collaborative instead of adversarial.

Some issues to consider with collaborative divorce include:

Overcoming denial and avoidance
Finding ways to get a noncommittal spouse engaged
Working with mental health professionals to overcome fears
Using financial professionals to find solutions that work for everyone
Realizing there is no perfect time to start the process

The goal is to have as much of a family as possible without being married. In a collaborative divorce, you come into the process in a more amicable way, and that can remove a lot of the fear.

Divorce Without Court:

A More Peaceful Solution

eBook by Andrea Vacca

Do you assume divorce pits one spouse against the other, resulting in a nasty battle where no one actually wins and children are the collateral damage? When most people think of divorce, they envision a courtroom slugfest and a process that drags on for years, resulting in serious financial problems, unhappy children, and lifelong resentment towards their spouse. This is not how your divorce has to be.

I wrote “Divorce Without Court: A More Peaceful Solution” because I want everyone who is considering a divorce to know that it does not have to be a war and that mediation and the collaborative divorce process are much better options.
