As a divorce attorney, I’ve also been through a divorce, which allowed me to relate much better with my clients in terms of what they’re going through and the emotions they’re experiencing and what to do and what not to do and frankly, tell them everything’s going to be fine. I learned that how emotional the process is. I learned how I can relate better to clients now who are going through a divorce. I learned how monumental it is to be not be under the same roof as your spouse while you’re going through a divorce. There’s a huge sense of relief, weight off your chest. One of the biggest things I learned was that you can’t see your kids every day. You’re not going to see your kids every day.
You’re not going to be able to say goodnight to them, to, you know, see how their day was. And that’s hard, especially for moms. Moms cannot wrap their head around. I’ve primarily raised these kids and I’m not gonna see them every day, I’m not gonna see them every other weekend. And so, again, I can relate. Your kids are gonna be fine, okay? It’s gonna be a process, but your kids are ultimately gonna be fine, and they’re gonna be in a better spot in terms of not having the stress and tension and arguments that typically exist in dysfunctional marriage that leads to divorce. Sometimes I volunteer that information when I think it’s appropriate. Sometimes they ask. But it made me a better divorce attorney for sure. Not that I wanted to go through a divorce, but it made me a better divorce attorney.
