This last week, we talked about divorce and how it can effect a family and also how families can recover from being a "broken" home and then trying to come together again. I found it really fascinating some of the statistics that my teacher gave us about divorce. Many people dont realize that divorce is incredible expensive. Several HUNDRED thousands of dollars initially, but the rippling effects can add up to almost a million over the following years.
Also, over 80% of divorced people (within 5 years after the divorce) wish that they had not gotten divorced, but rather tried to get through it.
And those that do work through it say that within 2 years there is an incredible increase in their happiness as a family, even greater than when they were newly wed.
I think that the problem is that many people jump in to divorce, hoping that it will serve as a quick fix to all their problems, but they do not think of all the long term damages that will occur, especially if their are children involved.
It is always, ALWAYS, worth it to seek help and work your way through the issues, rather than just try and run away from the problems through divorce.
