Women, Divorce and Depression
Women Who Are Enduring the Effects of Divorce Are Likely to Experience Depression
If you ask a woman who is going through a divorce to describe her emotions you may hear variations of depressed, anxious, ridiculous, foolish and abandoned. Women ask, “how could I not have known” or ”how will I know better next time” or ”I didn’t know who he really was after all”. Women may feel as though they should be able to predict behavior before it happens. In other words, women may blame themselves for less than perfect outcomes.
Women’s expectations of self are formed in childhood. However, it is possible to change our expectations, which will help us learn to make different choices.
