A message to all children of divorce — my WAKE UP CALL
Why didn’t I prevent this? Why didn’t I see this coming?
Why didn’t I do anything? Was it actually my fault?
Didn’t I do all my parents wanted me to do?
Questions I ask myself, looking back at this very dark time of my life. But now, I do not only see the suffering and the pain, but I am also starting to see the gift life gave to me. A really valuable thing I learned:
Every kind of darkness can teach you something that you can transform into light.
When life decides to wake you up
We all reach a point in life where we just need to wake up. We need to change something in order to grow. I faced my wake up call almost 10 years ago — and it was painful, but oh so necessary.
Back then, I was feeling entirely and utterly alone. I cried almost every day. I felt guilty. I was desperate. Desperate to run away. And I did. And on the way, I found myself again. My wake up call was the divorce of my parents. I want to share with you this very dark part of my history, and how I managed to get out of it as a better, stronger person. And how you can do, too.
