Divorced? Now what?

Here are three important pieces of advice from someone who has been through a divorce.

Don't talk trash about your ex. It makes you look petty and stupid for marrying them. And, makes your kids feel like there is something wrong with them.

Don't rush into dating to fill the emptiness you are feeling. Give yourself at least one year and use that time to strengthen bonds with friends and family.

Let yourself grieve. It takes time and self-reflection to move through it and to heal.
