Divorce: Freedom is the Reward of Letting Go

The ability to move on after your divorce entails the letting go of
the past with its emotional baggage and negative emotions. If you can
accomplish this feat then the heavy burdens you have been carrying will
lift and you will experience the liberation of freedom: the ability to
move unimpeded towards whatever goal you establish for yourself.

Think of slavery
Picture a person wrapped in chains. Now think of those chains as
having specific labels attached: blame, resentment, resistance, anger,
denial, sadness and confusion. Each of these labels is a chain in which
we bind ourselves, keeping us stuck in our pain and regrets and unable
to move forward towards a new life after divorce.
