You and your spouse have been going through a divorce, and one thing has been made abundantly clear: They don’t want you to be comfortable and don’t want to agree with you. This conflicted case is frustration and at times, overwhelming. You don’t want to fight, but they aren’t making things easy.
Fortunately, there are some ways to manage the stress of a divorce like this, so you can move forward with your life despite their best efforts to frustrate you.
1. Take a step back
The first thing to think about is taking a break from the divorce. You can take a few days away, start a new hobby or just turn off all communication. Whatever you do, taking time away from worrying or stressing over your divorce will give you time to think and approach issues calmly.
2. Remember that the divorce will finalize one way or another
Sometimes, people feel like their divorces will never end. That’s not true. Even if it means going to trial, your divorce will end eventually, even if your spouse is trying to drag it out.
3. Work closely with your attorney
Finally, remember that working closely with your attorney can help. By doing so, you’re letting a professional handle the worst aspects of the case, while you focus on your own health and life on your own.
Divorces can be stressful, and some people do take out their frustration on their spouses. Don’t let a complex or frustrating divorce get the best of you. There is help available, and you can move forward.
