How to Exit a Marriage Gracefully
Michael Cheshire's recent "An Open Letter to My Ex-Wife." marvelously encapsulates much of
the spirit and perspective I wish more divorcing spouses could find
their way to embrace.
- Be grateful for the good times.
- Share responsibility.
- Focus on the children.
- Keep a sense of humor.
In
the midst of divorce, it might seem impossible to imagine writing these
sorts of things about one's ex-spouse. As Cheshire writes, "Fear makes
the wolf bigger than he is." But this open letter is a standing
testament to the fact that it is possible. If you are going through a
divorce and have trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, this
just might be the one piece you want to keep pinned to your
refrigerator.
