How to End the Insanity of the Nasty Divorce.
I am an advocate for the end of the nasty divorce. Especially when there are children involved. To me, it is one of the most ridiculous, wasteful, idiotic ways to end an unhappy marriage. It must stop, but I need you to help. In my plan for an amicable divorce, the marriage and family therapist plays the largest role, adversarial lawyers play no role, and collaborative lawyers play a less significant role. I have realized that people can’t or won’t go the amicable route without professional support. They need help and coaching along the way. I see it as cradling them through the process as they adjust to a new life as a single parent and find healthy ways to navigate that and all of the negative emotions they will undoubtedly encounter.

For example, if you want to infuriate a person, one of the best ways is to tell them that their concerns or emotions aren’t justified.

Whatever feeling we have is actually a tap on our shoulder by our soul telling us, “Look at this and see what’s going on.”
