So my sister's husband has decided that it's divorce time... and I know it must be killing Sharon. One of my worst fears is now a tangible thing in her, the idea of divorce. The questions, self-doubt, anxiety that she must be feeling right now. To understand this fear you must know something about my family and my sister: Firstly there has never been a divorce in my family. Yes a lot of marriages and yes some death and a lot of taboos but never divorce. So to be the first one sends questions of how the family will take it. Why am I so different? Have I failed them? Will they still love me? do I go home? Do I show them that I'm still strong? And my sister is a person that felt acomplished through her marriage and work and all so to lose the marriage would be like destroying her dream. She won't feel that she is still a good artist, that she can't do her job as well. She'll need to be reminded that she's not a bad person and that she truely is a spectacular woman with a lot of experiences under her belt and nothing will slow her down.
She plans on moving to either Oregon (where her work's headquarters are) or to California where she can work their Western branch....Either way I know she'll come home for a while and I'll be there....a divorce takes three months atleast...three months of breaking down...fuck man.
