Emotional Stages of Divorce
Denial:
"This is not happening to me. It's all a
misunderstanding. It's just a midlife crisis.
We can work it out."
Anger and resentment:
"How can he/she do this to me? What did I ever
do to deserve this? This is not fair!"
Bargaining:
"If you'll stay, I'll change" or "If I agree to do
it [money, childrearing, sex, whatever] your way,
can we get back together?"
Depression:
"This is really happening, I can't do anything about
it, and I don't think I can bear it."
Acceptance:
"Okay, this is how it is, and I'd rather accept it
and move on than wallow in the past."
