We need to get away from the clichés that divorce brings. So many of us look at divorce as being a scenario where the men escape unscathed and the women are broken forevermore. But we have to remember the divorce is an incredibly liberating experience, despite the many hardships. Let's show you exactly what it can do for the female form.

Personal Independence

From the moment you receive your decree nisi to the day you walk out of the lawyer’s office for the last time, personal independence becomes the top of the priority list. All ties are cut loose in an abrupt fashion. Marriage is like a vehicle with two wheels, where each one has to operate in tandem to progress. And more often than not, marriage imposes many obligations, not to mention duties as well as a bucket load of compromise. When divorce occurs, in a way, you are free and are not accountable to anybody else for the first time in a long time. The personal freedom that is granted by divorce is is a liberation from all former marital responsibility, as sometimes when we feel tied to another person, we lose sight of what independence is. As we experience what independence truly is in a personal sense, we learn to be liberated with what we consider to be freedom, not what is expected of us in an unhappy marriage.

Financial Freedom 

Marriage means two people merging every single aspect of their lives. From the physical to the emotional, to the legal and financial. This is where people pool their resources, however, this means that the individual's expense means meeting the needs of the family, resulting in a lack of personal aspirations being fulfilled. When a couple pulls their finances together, this can leave individuals open to financial abuse. This is where, upon divorce, any financial obligations are dissolved. Now nobody can take your money away. When we stake our claim to our own finances, they remain with us, and we can feel liberated because we have access to all our money purely for our own use. Financial independence is one of the most liberating components in life, especially when we are trapped by a marriage that means we have to give up what little precious finances we have away.

The Opportunity to Start Again

The most important lesson anybody can learn from divorce is the ability to start again. When we go through a divorce, it can be a long, protracted, and ultimately bitter chapter in our lives. When we escape, we have the options for new starts with unlimited possibilities. When we are free of any responsibilities or obligations we can choose how to progress with the rest of our lives. This means that we have the opportunity to not repeat the mistakes of the past, and choose our new partner. When we are going through a divorce, it can leave us with a very different approach and attitude to what love is. You may think that now, you've opened your eyes up to what you thought was love. And whether it was lasting love or not, it doesn't matter now because you've learnt so much about yourself in the process.
