"Jumping through hoops is not the answer. This is Doctor Paul author of Boomer Girls, a boomer woman's guide to men and dating and host of Ask Doctor Paul. Not the easiest thing in the world to do but the best thing in the world to do is to accept yourself for who you are. Look at it this way. No matter who you are or what the circumstances were, the probability is you didn't let someone else down, they let you down. Now that may be true in your case and if it isn't then you're going to have to reevaluate you. If it is, however, then you're on the step right to the next part of your life, the future that you need. If you were the person who was the wronged person, if you were the person who was the fault of the divorce, then you still have to review you. Who am I? Who do I want to be? Am I happy with who I am? Am I going to stop this addiction that I have to gambling or to drinking or to drugs or whatever it may have been that you were involved with that caused you to be the cause of that divorce. O.k., so you get help and you get it done. But if you were not the cause of that divorce, if you're the victim of that divorce, take stock of who you are. You, know, I'm a good person, I know there's going to be a good person out there for me. And that's what it's all about. You can move on. Move on, that's the key. This is Doctor Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow."
