People
often are so caught up in the financial and legal stress of a divorce, that
they forget how hard it can be emotionally. No matter what your circumstances,
a divorce is a big change in a person’s life and sometimes we need some help.
Your family is going through a transitional period; you’re going to want to be
feeling the best you can. Here are a few divorce resources here in Tampa.
Professional Counseling
The other option to consider is
professional counselling. Though it may not seem like you have the time or
energy to be going to a counselor or therapist, it might be worth it to make
time. They will be there to help while you’re helping your children through
this tough time. Without knowing the details of your case, we cannot personally
recommend a therapist, but here is a
list from Psychology Today of therapists in Tampa. Taking the time to meet up and
discuss your needs with a few therapists might get you exactly the help you’re
looking for.
AAML Divorce Manual
Though it doesn’t sound like a
very exciting read, this book is the perfect resource to make sure you’re
prepared for all the twists and turns of a divorce. Published by the American
Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, this book has everything you’ll need to know from
counselling, to how
to pick a divorce lawyer.
Peer Groups
There are quite a few group
meetings for divorced parents in Tampa and finding the right fit for you might
take a few tries. My Friends Connect Divorce Support is just one example, but
there are many others like it here. Talking to others who are going through the
same thing can mean the world when you’re going through a tough time. To find a
peer support group that works with your needs, you can check out listings in
newspapers or the phone book.
Florida law dictates that all
parents going through a divorce have to attend a state-approved parenting
course. Though this isn’t a recurring group counselling scenario, the people
you meet there may be able to point you in the direction of a community group.
