My teenage son
bought me a Kavu bag for my birthday to complete my "hippie look." It
was the perfect gift given only by someone who really gets you. I thought about
how strong our relationship has become.
Similar to
many post-divorce occurrences, it's not that it couldn't have happened when I
was married, it's just that it counts as one of many happy results emerging
from an unhappy situation.
These are 10
lessons I learned from those happy results of life after divorce:
1. I can be closer to my child. I'm not
saying you can't be married and close to your children. But often there seems
to be a unique bond between the divorced and their children. Not having to
divide attention between spouse and child accounts for some of it.
Maybe the
rest comes from having to live together through difficult times. I'm grateful
for that closeness and work hard to cultivate it.
