My Favorite HAPPILY EVER AFTER DIVORCE ® Story
When I was in middle school and my brother was seventeen years old, he started dating a girl his age and they fell in love. She quickly became the older sister that I never had.
When they were 21 years old, they got married. I was ecstatic because now it was official, now she really was my sister. We were extremely close and shared everything with each other. At one point, I even lived with my brother and sister-in-law.
They were married for eleven years and together for 16 years; but the last few years of their marriage was rough. They had grown so far apart that they barely had anything in common to talk about anymore. Their hopes and dreams for the future were completely separate. So they decided to divorce and go separate ways. I was absolutely devastated, I felt like someone had died. I truly felt like I had lost the sister that I had grown up with.
I remember being very mad and upset at both of them. Although, as much as I hated to admit it, even I knew that something had to change. In those last few years, they were both constantly mad, anxious, and irritable.
Thankfully the divorce process was not dragged out and they each strived towards focusing on the future.
Today, my brother does not waste a single moment pursuing his passion for fishing and personal development. He is now one of the calmest people I know. And he is in a very supportive relationship with an amazing woman who truly complements who he is and encourages him to enjoy his life to the fullest.
My ex-sister-in-law is now living her “happily ever after” with a great man who she married and now has a beautiful baby boy with.
