Divorce Selfies Show That Divorce Doesn’t Have to Be Awful

Jun 2, 2017

There is societal assumption that divorce has to be awful, that it has to ruin lives and be ugly.  I can tell you first-hand story after story why that’s not true and, more importantly, how to avoid that kind of divorce.

But, sometimes, there are better ways to make the point.  And, the trend of divorce selfies is one of them. These people prove that you can do a hard thing well and not destroy each other, yourselves or your children in the process.

So, take a look at these, find some more by searching the hashtag #divorceselfie on Twitter, and take hope that there is such a thing as a good divorce if you both want it.
