they are the same 7 stages of bereavement as wellHope you're ok today celebrate. Someone told me there are 7 stages of grief for a marriage. It's taken a few months but I'm finally on the last step, helped mainly by the ex keeping dragging me to court and not really trying to fix anything. You will get there.
Shock or Disbelief
The initial realization that a marriage is or might be beyond any hope of saving will affect individual members of a family differently. Some may be emotionally stunned, unable to form or express strong feelings about the divorce or any other aspects of their life. Others may refuse to believe it, insisting instead that the process of divorce is simply a prolonged dispute. This stage may be brief, or may last several weeks, according to the Launching New Lives website.
Denial
Following disbelief, a family member may actively deny or literally forget that the divorce is taking place. According to Anger Management Resources, this is an unconscious attempt by the mind to protect an individual from the pain of loss. A spouse may make new, repeated attempts at romancing their partner in an unconscious attempt to prove that the threat of divorce is not serious. Children may observe brief moments of amicability as signs that the divorce was never real. Some may even tune out unhealthy behavior, focusing only on the relationship's positive aspects as signs that divorce is not a serious consideration.
Anger
Any member of a family that is affected by divorce may feel personally affronted and blame others. Anger is a common response when faced with significant decisions in which a person has little or no perceived input and will have a potentially negative effect. These circumstances often generate feelings of helplessness, which can fuel an individual's anger.
Bargaining
An individual will attempt to make a deal to change the situation. In general situations involving grief, this stage often involves a bargain with God. Bargaining is not a prevalent stage in all occurrences of grief, but is listed on Stages-of-Grief-Recovery.com as a common stage in divorce. While divorce-related grief can involve an appeal to a higher power, bargaining is often prevalent in promises by one spouse to change the behavior and habits, or by children changing their behavior in hopes that the parents will reward them by staying together.
Guilt
The Springboard Group lists guilt on the Launching New Lives website as a feeling that one did not do enough to prevent a loss. During this stage, affected individuals begin to examine ways in which the divorce is directly attributable to their actions. Children may blame stress caused by their behavior or performance at school. A spouse may recall ways in which they could have made their partner happier, avoided arguments or made greater contributions to the marriage and the family. Stages-of-Grief-Recovery.com notes that this stage is often accompanied by the unattainable wish to turn back the clock and do things differently, fueled by the griever's sense of regret and self-blame.
Depression
The state of chronic, debilitating sadness is a common and natural reaction to loss. This stage of grief can manifest most notably in teenagers affected by their parents' divorce, as the physical and hormonal changes they experience during puberty leave them more susceptible to depression than adults. Depression can also manifest as a constant state of reflection on times when the marriage was happier and divorce was not imminent, according to the Springboard Group.
Acceptance and Hope
Coming to terms with the reality of a divorce will bring the affected family members to a realization that their lives have been changed in significant, unalterable ways and that things will never be the same again, but that life will go on and they have hope of finding happiness in other ways.life is like a loo roll. the nearer the end you get, the faster it goes.0 -

Morning everyone
I found the choc last night nom nom nom !!! I made the most of it and ate a bar half each with DH as I start my diet today, back on a mostly protein very boring diet as we'll all soon be squeezing into dresses for Christmas and New Years Eve
Hoping no more nice food glitches come up (also hoping I don't dive on the ten bars that are in the fridge as soon as I get home from work! ha!)
I also wanted to let you know that I found the bike!! The super £9.50 bike that was out of stock everywhere last week. Bl00dy thing scanned at £65 though - gutted!Kids would've been blown away if I'd wheeled them out christmas morning.
No T missions for me tonight or tomo as we're back on the decorating. Might have to go by Sunday or I'm going to get the shakes!0 -

Reminds me of the free ryanair flights we used to get - we even took a day trip back to Belfast because we ran out of time in a previous visit, to return to the Folk museum! DD2s OH is from NI and recommended the place.
Haven't been there in years but used to love it as a kid. They have a Titanic exhibition on at the minute but I don't think my kids would thank me for dragging them around.mymerrywidow wrote: »they are the same 7 stages of bereavement as well
I was told that as well but losing a relationship can be a lot like losing a loved one hence the stages of grief are the same. I'm done mourning my marriage as it was obviously a sham. I'm actually wondering if him or his family even wanted DS2 given some of the comments plus the attitude towards both our kids. I was good enough to help pay the bills and subsidise his ex-wife & kid but when it came down to it, money for his first family was more important than money for us as a family so something had to give and it wasn't going to be him.
Onwards and upwards but there are similarities between what celebrate is going through with her OH and their finances and what I went through. It's not nice finding out where you rank in the list of importance but better finding out now and having a chance at moving on that being in a loveless and unhappy marriage for the rest of your life.0 -

:rotfl:
So the selection boxes, did I read someone said the offer finishes on Sunday instead of the normal Tuesday?
.
I'm sure I read on the other thread it ends on the 22nd which is Tuesday. Tried to check on the website but they're still not showing on there as B1G2F for me, which is a bit strange.
Morning everyone (just!)
No T's for me, my car is in the garage and once it comes out I'll have no money left for Mr T! Unless some great glitch comes up I might manage to find a few spare pennies!:rotfl:
...those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

There's a fork in the road, which way will you go
You standing still or will you step into the great unknown,
Is yours to decide, this is your life.
