It's not uncommon to experience a good deal of unhappiness when getting over a divorce.   The problems we experience can be difficult to solve without feeling completely overwhelmed.  Before solving them, we need to determine exactly what we're getting over, the root cause of our unhappiness.

It's difficult to get through a divorce without feeling completely mentally exhausted when it's over.  Many of us are still processing the multiple Stages of Divorce that represent the natural resolution to a difficult situation in our life.  It's completely understandable to get stuck in one stage or another.  Based on your specific circumstances, the stage that holds you up can vary.

Divorce affects every aspect of your financial well being.  Most of what is established in your divorce agreement is on the basis of money.  Support, division of assets, debts, personal property, etc.  When the divorce is completed, you and your spouse each have about half as much.  For many, that may not amount to much.
