Parenting through divorce may feel more challenging during emotional stages accompanied by the transition. The pain of divorce moves through a process that is very much like what happens to us when someone we love dies. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross did extensive work with terminal patients and studied how their feelings changed from the process of initial discovery to eventual death.

These stages may vary in order; may be experienced simultaneously, or may be revisited after having progressed into the next stage. The grief process is painful, difficult, and inevitable, but the end result is healing, which will ultimately lead to growth.

The “Gem State”, Idaho, is situated in the Pacific Northwest region of America. It happens to be the 3rd fastest growing state in the US.

I am sure that most of you would have read stories of divorce. A common trait that you get to notice in most of these stories is that men would have always been projected as the villain and women as the victims. According to me, when divorce judgements are given, judges get to know the story that is just the tip of the iceberg. If you were to get to the bottom of the iceberg, I am very sure that in more than 90 percent of these cases, women would be the instigating factor. This is just my opinion.
