The Residue of Divorce



The residue of divorce. I call it such because it forces you to do a number of admistrative things you wouldn't so much care to do. Those things like changing 401K beneficiaries, medical and dental benefits information and what not. Since my divorce was made final in August, Im just not getting around to the paperwork of my life changing event. It sucks but it is what it is. Strangely enough it doesn't force you to think about the person, that actually happens everyday surprisingly. Its just one of those things where you are like, "well if I die, do I really want this person to get more money?" LOL Seriously, divorce is no joke, it hurts, it causes pain unfathomable and it can be frustrating. It is what it is. More than ever I can understand why God says in Malachi that He hates divorce. It causes a lot of ugliness and makes innocents cry. I was fortunate my child did not suffer but it does set a horrible example of family life. How can we tell our children that marriage is important and great and turn around and run from it? I am guilty, God help my ex and I to be better people fit for marriage.
