Health care

By John H. Sklare, Ed.D, Lifescript Personal Coach

Q: My marriage is in big trouble. I asked my husband to leave, and now I’m not sure I made the right choice. I think I made a mistake by listening to my children. I already borrowed $2,000 for a lawyer. What do I do?

-Tammy W.

A: Hi Tammy,

I’m sorry you’re in such emotional turmoil. The decision to divorce is a tough one for most people, and second guessing one’s decision is typically a part of the process. As I read your email the following three questions immediately came to my mind: How long have you been married? How old are your children? And what do you mean that your marriage is in “big trouble?” Regardless, I think my general message to you would basically be the same.

Since you’re having reservations now, I strongly suggest that you make an appointment with a counselor or speak with someone from your local place of worship. Getting an objective professional opinion is the best way to sift through your uncertainty and discover what’s best for you in the long run. As a general rule, I always suggest marital counseling before divorce, and that may still be a viable option for you and your husband. Without knowing the details of your situation, I think you should seek guidance from someone other than your emotionally involved children before proceeding with the divorce and investing more money into an attorney.

Wishing You Great Health,
Dr. John H. Sklare
