We understand that bitter memories linger on, and the good ones tend to hide in some remote corner of our mind. For couples who divorce, nothing is more painful than to experience overwhelming emotions associated with memories of a bitter past.
It is not a bad idea to take control of the negative impact of these memories—and shake off the fatigue and frustration they bring along. Deliberate efforts to steer clear of the painful memories will not only liberate you but light up a path to a world of opportunities.
We would like to do our bit and nudge our readers in that direction! That’s why we asked them to travel down the memory lane and come up with the best thing they recall about their ex!
We posted the question ‘Keeping it positive: What’s the best thing you can say about your ex?’ on DivorceMag’s Facebook page. The responses evoke emotions and show we all have the gift to salvage positivity even from trauma like divorce.
