HEAR HEAR! People act like we're crazy for demanding that America have a functioning, well-intentioned, non-corrupt government which works for the people. We shouldn't have to beg to have necessities or for our leadership to not be corrupt.

You are not entitled for expecting your government to serve you as a citizen. It literally exists to provide for you the resources necessary for a functional life. That’s why it’s there- its entire purpose. You are not greedy for asking more from your government; it IS their half of the agreement.

How can I help?
Obviously, there's so much to unpack that I can't include in soundbites.
But what I want you to know is this: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
You may feel alone. You may feel like you're the only one. You may even feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.
I promise you, you've got this.

Stage 7: ACCEPTANCE
In #FamilyLaw, you may have to accept that your co-parent may NEVER come to the table with peaceful co-parenting, but that doesn't mean you have to live with abuse or grief forever. Or perhaps you need to learn to love your new single life. There's joy to be found, if you look.

Stage 6: TESTING
Here is where you get to try out new skills, new mindsets, and new ways of approaching your new normal. You may get things wrong, but that's okay! Keep holding space to feel surprised when things turn out kind of ok, actually.

Stage 5: DEPRESSION
It's really easy to stay in anger for too long, not recognizing that you were not supposed to hold onto this emotion... you were supposed to let go. Once you let go of anger, you'll face grief: the loss of the relationship, the loss of your peace, a new life.
Feel in.

Stages 3 & 4: ANGER + BARGAINING
In #FamilyLaw, you may want to try finding ways to control the situation. You might be angry that you're here.
Allow yourself the space to work through this emotion and accept what you can't control and embrace what you can, like your emotions and responses.

Stage 2: Denial
Naturally, you're going to want to deny that this is happening or even ignore it altogether. Procrastination, putting things of... it's natural.
Allow yourself the emotional and energetic space to process so you can move past denial into...

Stage 1: SHOCK
Allow yourself to feel the shock of how things happened. Perhaps that you're divorcing at all... that something happened in your coparenting relationship... what your ex-spouse's counsel is doing.
BREATHE. Let that emotion come and go because it has a right to be.
