Divorce Recovery   Divorce can be a puzzling, painful and overwhelming experience. These effects are oftentimes greatly magnified by financial issues, custody concerns, feelings of betrayal and abandonment, returning to the workforce or dating arena, and the loss of a partner. For many this can be a time where it appears that life is out of control and the future is blurry and uncertain. Professional help may be needed if one or more of the following symptoms are experienced: Inability to accept the end of the marriage Seeking revenge toward ex-spouse Degrading ex-spouse publicly Avoiding ex-spouse Stalking ex-spouse Destruction of ex-spouse's property Unwillingness to cooperate with ex-spouse Using children to communicate with ex-spouse Using children as bargaining leverage Increased alcohol or drug use Suicidal thoughts Suicidal threats
