My ex husband and I are working on a new and improved relationship together, attempting to reconcile. I am having a hard time with the divorce even though we are still working on things. There is a divorce support group at my church and I am considering going, but I don’t really fit the criteria. I am not trying to cut off all ties or anything, but I could use some coping skills maybe. I am just wondering if it could interfere with the reconciliation process. Any serious thoughts?

I am somewhat estranged from my sister who lives across the country, but found out through family that she is having a really hard time and her husband is pushing for a divorce. What is the best way for a family to support a sister going through a divorce? If you’ve gone through a divorce, what support did you find helpful?
So many people say, “I can’t wait until my divorce is over.” I have found that your divorce is never over. Although your marriage is over and lives are separated, the affects of divorce seeps into all areas of your life. Some challenges go away, others arise. So look before you leap. 
Suffering and pain is not the enemy. Wonderful fruit and personal growth can come from trials and tribulation. Embrace your suffering in a healthy way and grow from it.
An interview with leading fathers’ advocate, Glenn Sacks, on the ‘Morning Show with Mike and Juliet’ on FOX. Glenn discusses the case of sperm-donor Kevin Zoernig who was ordered to pay child-support by a New Mexico court.

What is a Divorce Recovery Support Group?
As the name suggests, it is a support group for divorcer. The group comprises of many divorcers who get together under the trained guidance of therapists and divorce counsellors to discuss their mutual situations. The group provides support and guidance to divorcers about their newfound life status. The group follows a format of discussion, introspection and frank communication.
Divorcers are encouraged to talk about their personal divorce experiences. A feeling of companionship is created. Divorcers share and give advice to each other. The divorce recovery support group is based on the knowledge that shared information and advice among fellow members have more impact than individual professional intervention. Divorcers get to know where they went wrong and where they are going wrong. The group also acts as a meeting place. Divorcers meet like-minded people and are able to strike friendships.
Objectives
Set Short Term and Long Term Goals: The divorce recovery support group helps a divorcer to devise a new plan for his or her new life. It helps the divorcer to adjust to the new situation. It propels the divorcer to look within and chart new priorities and expectations. These include:
Dealing with Child Custody Issues: The group helps the divorcer to come to terms with reality. It teaches the individual acceptance especially in the case of child custody. The divorcer realizes that he or she should not divorce the child. The child should always form top priority no matter what the situation. The divorcer has to keep in constant touch with the child. The divorcer outlines following guidelines after opening up to members of the recovery group:
Continuous direct communication through physical visits, emails, phones and letters
Conducting a cordial relationship with ex in front of child
Not criticizing or abusing, blaming ex in front of child
Maintaining and following court ordered visitation schedules regularly
Being actively involved in child’s life
Ensuring child knows everything about your new life
Developing Financial Goals: The divorcer has to create new financial targets. These fall into three categories of short-term and immediate targets, medium and long-term goals. The divorcer determines these goals in accordance with importance. He or she has to decide what has to be achieved at once and what can be achieved slowly. The recovery group helps the divorcer realize that the achievement of short-term goals ensures the fulfilment of long-term goals.
Short-term Goals
Setting up individual bank account
Reverting to maiden name on important documents
Changing residence and leasing a house which will have a separate room for the child
Applying for individual credit card
Seeking a change in professional work status
Reducing expenses
Long-term and Medium Goals
Meeting new people and developing/ widening social circle
Dating leading to physically intimate encounters
Remarrying
Getting involved in enjoyable hobbies and interests
Making new investments i.e. purchasing a new house
Investing in bonds and financial schemes to increase personal income
Setting up a child maintenance trust
Physical Changes: The recovery group holds that a divorcer has to let go of emotional baggage before starting a new chapter of life. Getting a physical makeover forms a big part of this initiative. The support group forces a divorcer to quit depression and regain self-esteem. Usually, groups of divorcers visit a parlour and get a makeover done at the same time. This increases the communal feeling of not being alone. It also allows the divorcer to share private marital information in a non-structured environment.
The logic is that a physical change helps the divorcer to regain his or her self-belief and confidence. Adjustment on an emotional and cognitive level can only come if the individual feels confident about physical self.
Online Divorce Recovery Groups: Nowadays online divorce recovery groups are making headway. These groups do not focus on a single area. They deal with divorcers during and after divorce. They provide online lectures on life post-divorce. The online classes also help divorcers to be informed about divorce law and amendments.
Usually, divorcers and individuals intending to get divorced, divorce counsellors and therapists form part of the group. Online recovery groups afford privacy and convenience. It often happens that divorcers or couples trying to file papers feel embarrassed about face-to-face contact. It could also be that some divorcers feel ashamed to talk about personal feelings and thoughts in front of other people. Online groups step in allowing the individual to heal oneself privately.
The group provides information about legal procedures and documents. It also garners support for populous issues of child custody and spousal maintenance.
