Divorce is about defeat and failure. But it can also be about victory and success. It is about pain and grief and guilt, and also about healing and forgiveness and peace. It is about rejection. It can also be about acceptance. It is about the loss of hopes and the end of dreams. Often it is about continuing grief over children who are always separated from one parent or the other, and who doubt that they are part of a family any more. It can also be about pride in children who are more mature and more together than their peers, and about single parent homes which are more united, more peaceful and more loving than many two-parent homes.
