Creating a Supportive Network Post-Divorce
Divorce is complicated, but once you have finalized your divorce, you can enter a new chapter in life and will likely need to find a way to move forward. You may find that your support network has changed. Some people have stayed with you, while others have changed or even ended your relationship, and that is okay—we see it often. Do not worry; you can find your post-divorce support network.
However, once your divorce is finalized, rebuilding your support system of friends, family, and professionals interested in helping you move forward becomes important. Having people root for you is beneficial in many ways. Not only will you have emotional support, but you can also have help with everyday needs.
So, you may be asking yourself, I want to move forward, but I am not sure how to grow my support network, here are some suggestions that can help:
- Look at your past relationships, and work with those who have stayed by you. They are your people
- Find ways to expand your circle by attending support groups, starting a new hobby, or participating in a sports activity can help
- Work with mental health specialists who are trained in divorce – they can help you immensely, especially with healing your emotional needs or finding self-confidence.
- It is also essential to be mindful of self-care—it’s not selfish. It’s a vital part of moving forward.
Creating your support network will take time; you’ll have some tough, lonely days. But when you choose cooperation over conflict, you’re building something powerful. A future where people genuinely care about you and help you thrive in this new chapter of your life.
