Have you read the Stockdale Paradox by chance? Look it up and read it...
“Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.” — James Stockdale. Vice Admiral James Stockdale was the highest-ranking naval officer held as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
So we need to start adopting the attitude of a prisoner of war now to survive this divorce experience? Oh man, I know you mean well - to think that I'm in such a grim situation right now that I have to adopt the attitude of a prisoner of war - how did it come to this? It's unbelievable - less than six months ago I was a happy family man, with a happy wife, happy kids, living in my dream home, with a stable job and all was well. How did it all blow up so quickly?
But yeah, Stockdale. I'll get through this. I guess I have to go into survival mode now ...
