These are some helpful words from Richmond women who have been through divorce, presented by Scott Bucci of Bucci & Dix.
The rules of kindness always apply even though your former spouse may be angry, manipulative, or downright mean. Keep your integrity by refusing to stoop to a low level.

Be brave, be true to yourself and be strong. It is the hardest thing a woman could ever go through – letting go of her past life and all her hopes and dreams. Believe in yourself, believe that you deserve happiness, and believe that you will find it again.

My best advice is stop blaming yourself, try to be kind, and open minded; find friends, run, do stretching, take a deep breath, take regular walks, read some good books, keep a diary; put make-up on everyday, make yourself look BEAUTIFUL every single day, save money, try to surround yourself with happy positive people, and pray, pray, pray….
~ Anna ~
Just breathe! Focus on all of the positive aspects of your life. Despite the fact that it seems like you are the only one going through this difficult hardship, someone else has it ten times harder than you. Look at this experience as learning about your inner core. The best revenge will be to move on.. do it with integrity, honesty and grace. You are a beautiful woman and deserve so much better, and believe me better is out there!

Change your bedroom to make it your own space. Even little things like new linens or rearranging the furniture can make it feel like a new room. Don’t forget to add scented oil or candles that smell just the way you like!
