Our financial responsibility was divided fairly. |
|
I still respect my former spouse and our relationship is friendly, cordial and civil. |

I realize my marriage was not a complete mistake and value the years I was with my spouse. |
|
Our children understand and are reminded that our divorce is not their fault. |
|
I am committed to being
cooperative and respectful when my spouse engages with the world as a
single person (dating, working, making new friends, etc.). |
|
I took responsibility for
any feelings of abandonment, rejection, fear, anger, grief and guilt I
had, without blaming or shaming my spouse. |
I will make sure that the above statements are realized by doing the following:
Your divorce mission statement will
serve as a reminder of who you want to be at the end of your divorce.
Keep it handy. You will need these reminders when things get
tough. The hard work of staying in touch with your mission, and
