As we quickly get our feet wet with 2020, it is worth another reminder that this is the time of year when divorce rates peak. Many spouses will come into our office over the next few months with their minds made up that they are going to get a divorce, but many of them are not considering the negative effects of such a monumental decision.
We’ve already touched on a few reasons why you don’t want a divorce. But what about the physical and emotional effects of divorce no one thinks about. Below is a list of 12 physical and emotional effects of divorce:
- Depression, anxiety, and guilt
- Lasting anger and resentment
- Increased stress levels
- Insomnia
- Lower life satisfaction and identity problems
- Trust issues
- Difficulty with future relationships and marriages
- Lost social network
- The psychological effect on your children, including behavioral problems
- Increased health issues
- Substance abuse
- The decrease in socio-economic position

A divorce is a significant, life-changing event.
