2. It is important that you are surrounded by a network of friends/family that you can trust. It is common to want to seclude yourself after divorce, however, it is unhealthy. Keeping close relationships with people has even been known to sustain a healthy blood pressure rate.
3. When you have been conditioned to always have your spouse to go out with, it’s hard to think of going out alone. Find some good friends to hang out with. Get out and have some fun.
