This group was created for families in Atlanta who are or have experienced the big D.
June 27, 2006 (Press Release) --
Going through a divorce, no matter how common it seems to be in our society, is a painful event. The emotions, the loss, the what if questions. The sleepless nights laying awake wondering where things went wrong. I often ask myself " can the relationship be salvaged, are we better off apart, who get's the children, are my children going to have emotional scars, how in the heck am I going to pay my attorney, etc.... "
Many divorcing individuals in Atlanta are being brought together as a result of this life changing event. It is almost beautiful how such a painful event can bring strangers together to listen, cry,give advice and just enjoy being human. Coping with the loss, a sense of failure,the life change is rough. Knowing there are others dealing with similar circumstances is comforting. Maybe misery really does like company. Then again, misery, my ex-wife, doesn't want my company.
In all seriousness, moving on can be tough but with a support group like the one which has been created here in Atlanta, it makes the experience a lot easier to digest. We all realize that we must move on and this is a great start. Group therapy with new faces, new friendships, and the human spirit.
In my divorce, I am the defendant. I am accused of all these crazy allegations that are not true. I have an angry witch trying to villanize me so she can guarantee herself custody of our boys. My in-laws are at the root of this whole situation. They dislike me and have been chizzeling away at my soon to be ex for years trying to convince her to take the boys and leave me.
My soon to be ex walked out on my two boys and I in Febuary 2006 and moved in with her parents. I was working that afternoon and my mother was in town helping out with our children. My ex left the house that afternoon without even hugging her two boys goodbye and never returned to live in our familial residence together with me again.
Approximately three weeks went by without seeing her. Then, our doorbell rang early in the morning as I prepared breakfast for my two and three year old sons. It was a Dekalb county employee serving me with divorce papers. My heart skipped and my morning was ruined. Ding,Ding, let the Battle begin.
A temporary hearing was set. Looks were exchanged and emotions ran high. I kept my cool and watched my talented attorney work his magic.
The boys were to remain in the house but now the Witch was to switch in and out of the house with me every other week. Where will I live? Will my boys be okay? I am the hands on parent, how can she care for them like I do?
My ex, the witch, suffers from an Anxiety disorder as well as depression. My concern for the well being of my boys overwhelmed me. The games she started to play while sharing the house with me are beyond evil.
The support, advice, compassion that the group members have shared with me made this nightmare much easier to experience. The thought of a court deciding the fate of my family is unsettling. The support of this group helps me smile when I go to bed on my out weeks staring at my children's photographs wishing I was home tucking them in bed.
