Just like warriors in a battle, most couples undergoing a divorce do not have the time to feel its impact themselves. It is only later that the full impact of it all sinks in. Each divorce is different, each family has its own peculiar problems, and everyone on earth has been lucky enough to be unique individuals with unique problems. The situation that arises after each divorce depends on the circumstances of the divorce. But there are some common ‘heads’ under which it is possible to categorise these issues. The first horn of dilemma that we face is trying to grasp the fact that we are very different as individuals and just one common bundle of chemical reactions and nerve endings when it comes to the common emotions that characterise us humans. So while we need to mourn in solitude, we also need to start the painful but inevitable process of connecting to society again.
