emotions that come into play. For example: anger, frustration, fear,
sorrow, anguish, bitterness, hatred, depression, and regret are just a few of the
emotions that come up during and after a divorce. The person being divorced
starts questioning their value as a person and as a mate. They
start
thinking and saying "If only I had done this..." or "I should have done this
..." or "I am not lovable" or "I'll never be happy" or "I'll always be
alone". Divorce can destroy self-esteem. Depression can
sneak into the mind without knowing that it is happening. The parties
involved in divorce can become full of guilt and they can begin to question
their sanity.
