Not everything you’ve heard about preparing for a divorce is true. In fact, there are a number of myths floating around. Everyone seems to want to tell you how to do it because that’s what worked for them.
But if you buy into these myths, you may never take the right steps to get yourself out of a difficult situation – one that may seem to be getting worse.
Your deteriorating marriage is likely taking a toll on you:
- You may feel embarrassed about not knowing what to do and need to talk to someone you can trust.
- You may feel anxious about the consequences once everything is said and done.
- You may feel like giving up hope because the emotional strain just seems to grow and grow and all you want to do is “get it over with”.
To help you get clear about your options, let’s take a look at the first MYTH about getting started with divorce:
