Were you married to a powerful husband?
Who is a powerful husband? He is someone who has professional power and position. He is a CEO, attorney, physician, military man, or anyone who has money and commands respect from those below him.
Other women may be jealous of your money and position. They may think you have it all. And, even though you are divorced, they may think you still have it made. But, you know differently.
Divorce, for you, is more complex than for other women. Therefore, healing is more complex, sometimes not even years after the papers were signed. That's because you not only lost your husband but also your identity and role as the wife of a powerful man. You lost your own voice having spoken for so long from his voice, his company’s voice, or the voice of “his wife.”
You feel betrayed. After all, you did all the right things to help him grow in his profession. You put your professional aspirations and personal needs aside for the greater good – his advancement. You came up in the ranks with him. Better yet, you know he came up in the ranks because of you.
You made his life easier so he didn’t have to worry about the children, household, parents, in-laws. You made excuses when he had to miss family events. You did it willingly because it was helping him advance. You expected your rewards would come later; when he retired, you know you would be together more and travel more.
Over the years, I’ve seen these differences in women divorced from powerful men. I’ve seen that the legal ending of the marriage, even new relationships, do not necessarily end the pain, resentment, and anger; the feelings are not far below the surface.
If this describes you, be sure to sign up for my free teleseminar (that’s like a conference call). In this 1 ½ hours, you have the privacy of the telephone and company of others who are going through the same things as you.
Some topics we might cover are:
- why divorce is more agonizing for you
- what you lost in the divorce (besides money and things)
- what you need in order to feel emotionally free from him
- how to develop your own voice
- how to choose friends who do not recycle your anger
- how to create your own dreams (no, you’re not too old)
And lots more. So, sign up and join us and bring your own questions.
(This is after Valentine’s Day, so you may have lots to say about what you lost.)
