Divorce – The Bright Side of the Story

Whenever a person is going through his or her divorce, we usually assume the person to be facing the worst phase of his or her life. However, is this always true? Does every person mourn his divorce or is it possible to find people who are happy following a divorce? The answer is yes! While some people talk about divorce being a curse on the society, it has been a boon in disguise for me.
Divorce as a Boon – My Experiences with Truth
My name is Susan. As a young girl, I always had my own dreams of having a good education, an illustrious career and above all owning a beautiful home of my own in the countryside. When I reached marriageable age, I got married to John, who was working as an accountant at a local firm. Our married life did seem to start on a brighter note.
In the first two years of my marriage, we had a kid. I confined myself to the home, taking care of the kid and the household. Days ran into months and months into years. I knew nothing about the outside world. For me, my family was my world. But then destiny took a new twist and a turn.
I did have a few hiccups in my relationship with John. But then I felt that it was common and bound to occur in any marriage. However, at certain stage, things seem to be slowly moving towards the worse. Due to large scale retrenchment in his company, John lost his job. Life slowly entered into turmoil. There was an unusual change in John’s behaviour. He started coming home late. He started spending less time with us. On most of the occasions, he used to come home drunk. When I started questioning him on his behaviour, he started beating me black and blue. At times, he did not spare even Elizabeth, our child.
It was that dreadful night. As usual, John had come home drunk. We entered into a small brawl followed by a small tussle. Elizabeth tried to intervene but John brushed her aside with a blow. Eventually she fainted. I was in a state of shock. I immediately rushed her to the hospital where we revived her finally.
That was the day that I decided that I was not going to tolerate this nonsense any more. Subsequently, I filed for my divorce and I now lead a life with my daughter alone. I went ahead to take my Masters in English literature from the Cambridge University. I got myself a decent job as an English language teacher in one of the prestigious colleges in downtown London. Life seemed to be back on the rails again. Eventually, I went ahead to purchase a beautiful home in the English countryside, a dream that had long been pending.
Twenty years down the line, I am now the Dean of the same college in which I started my career. Elizabeth has taken up her research in bio-technology. After my divorce, I never looked forward to another relationship, though I could have. I am very happy today that I have been able to restore my life to its fullest glory.
Divorce – The Final Word
To people who have been reading my story so far, I would just like to reiterate on just one fact. Divorce, necessarily need not be a solution to all your problems in life. No married person would ever look forward to wanting to seek a divorce. But then, in situations where you end up with a control-freak or an abusive partner, you necessarily need not put up with such non-sense. My divorce has been a boon in disguise to me. It gave me the much needed individual freedom and my own personal space.
It enabled me to start a fresh new chapter in my life. I have been my own boss and living my life to its fullest. I was able to define what I wanted in life. Life has indeed become much more peaceful and free of stress.
Marriage is a bond of love and a commitment to life. Both the partners have an equal responsibility of acting responsibly towards this relationship. Take life in its stride. What you probably keep thinking as a huge setback can turn out to be your boon to reach ever-lasting glory in your life. All the best!
