It's a funny thing, the divorce process, it forces us to really be introspective.
It's unnatural because there's a habit or a perspective that's been formed. It's leading you look at the world a certain way. All of us have dysfunctional scripts that we play in our heads to protect us. But they don't always work and set us up for these situations.
I appreciate how weird/unnatural it all feels. You're going against the scripts that have been governing your world for a long time. They may have contributed to the situation as it is as well.
Speaking of learning skills, something I found recently that I appreciate, for me, is a self-help series call "Man Transformation". Google it. There's other stuff on the topic that are worth looking at too. There's a lot of info out there to help, this is just one of mine and there's a lot of interesting discussion that I appreciated. .
