The Kind Words That Helped Us Get Through Our Splits

 Even the darkest moments of separation don’t last forever. And sometimes it’s the kind words we heard from a beloved family member, friend, or someone we barely knew that help us move towards to the light and out of the darkness. Here are some of those kind words that have helped us when we were at our lowest. Any to contribute yourself?

“’He was a nice guy. But you deserve exceptional.’ My dad isn’t a very mushy guy, so these words meant the world to me”
CG

“Choose life and love and then happiness will find its way. It starts from inside of us all. Love yourself and your children and everything else will come together.”
ZB

“It was his lawyer confirming the fact my ex was an asshole! As we left the room courtroom, she asked ‘How could you stand him for 12 years, I couldn’t for 6 months.’”
CH

“When one door closes, another one opens. But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door that we don’t see the one that has opened for us.”
AB

“One of my husband’s long-time friends asked me how I was doing. A small thing, perhaps, but no one else had asked. I have always been everyone else’s rock, and everyone else assumed I was fine. It was nice to be asked. And he meant it; he was genuinely concerned for me. I’ll always remember that. “
AM

“’There are always two sides to every story.’ My sister-in-law told me that.”
ME

“Marrying you was the best thing he ever did, and divorcing him was the best thing you ever did!”
GD

“That I was strong, intelligent, beautiful, and worthy. My friends really know how to make me smile.”
MR

“This too shall pass”
EM

“I had just given birth for the fourth time and I was going through my divorce. As I stood overwhelmingly crying in a Tesco car park a lady came up to me, put her hand on my shoulder and said, ‘Honey, I’ve been sitting in my car watching you with all four of these babies. I want you to know you are doing an amazing job with your little ones. I’ve been where you’re at now and I promise you it gets better! Keep up the good work and hang in there.’ She was a complete stranger to me… But she changed my life that day in a way she’ll never know!”
DB

“Divorce looks good on you.”
SF

“I knew there was more going on than you were saying, but I knew you wouldn’t make a decision like this on a whim, so I just waited until you were ready to tell me.”
EG

“From my best friend, via text, after discovering yet another indiscretion on my ex’s part:
‘So I’ve been thinking about this all day, it’s been bothering me. I think you were the best thing he ever had and he didn’t know what do. You made him the man he wanted to be or wants to be. But he knows he can’t be, so he goes back to comfortable for him.’
Hearing that helped me put in perspective how someone so loving and committed, could be a totally different person than we all know.”
TH

 “My dad said, ‘Don’t take him back.’”
TK

“You are beautiful and you have a heart of gold. You are going to make some gentlemen very happy in the near future.”
MD

“You’re worth loving”
JR

“That even though it does not seem possible, you will stop crying and it will get better. And she was right.”
TC

“Would you be open to the possibility that you are a very powerful person and that you have always made your own choices?”
RO

“You’re stronger than you give yourself credit for.”
DM

“My sister said, ‘You were living his life, now live your own, you’re your terms.”
AG

“Honey, your picker is broken.”
AV

“How empowered I must feel. And I did, after hearing that.”
PI

“’You always look for the beauty in everyone and everything.’ My ex said that – I still didn’t take him back.”
CS

“My close friend said, ‘I knew you married and I know you divorced. I like you much better divorced.’”
GE

“One day someone will walk into your life and make you see why it never worked out with anyone else.”
RM

“Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
MM

“I believe everything happens for a reason! People change so you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they’re right.”
SG

“Sometimes all you have to do is forget what you feel and remember what you deserve.”
