Coping with Divorce – Eckhart Tolle Quotes

Published on
Eckhart Tolle Quotes
Eckhart Tolle
Author of
The Power of Now

 

 

Here are some of our usual Friday quotes.  These are all from Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now and A New Earth – Awakening the Purpose in your Life. We, at TDM, felt that they would be quite appropriate in helping people going through divorce in coping with divorce and the divorce process.  If you have a favourite Eckhart Tolle quote share it with us.

 

Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not ‘yours,’ not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you.

 

There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.

 

Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.

 

 

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

 

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.

 

Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.

Parental Alienation Quotes

Published on

What is Parental Alienation?

Simply put, this is where a child consistently and persistently denigrates, insults or speaks disparagingly about or to one parent without justification due to various factors one of which is indoctrination, brainwashing and/or training by the other parent.

This is most frequently seen in divorce or separation cases where child custody is in dispute.

Parental alienation can be so severe that the child in question eventually holds no good or positive memories of the time he or she spent with the targeted parent.  They show no guilt whatsoever in how they treat the targeted parent and at times, their behaviour can escalate to physical harm of the parent including spitting and hitting.

Parental alienation happens only when the denigration and insults come directly from the child.

At The Divorce Magazine, we have collected the top 5 quotes on PA and here they are:

Divorce Quotes – Coping with Divorce

Fab 8 Coping with Divorce and Life after Divorce Quotes

Published on

Here are a few quotes for you in whatever stage you are in your divorce process.  Just at the beginning, in the middle of the separation or divorce process or maybe it’s all done and your are at that stage of learning how you can begin coping with divorce and life after divorce; like the Tony Robbins quote as well as the Linda Ellerbee quote.

A couple of the divorce quotes may be more appropriate when looking at what to do with your new life – maybe start a business as a way of creating a revenue stream (the Oprah one is pretty apt for that as is the Paulo Coelho one – we think).

One that is not included here but is great too is “You have to decided to get better.”

Not sure who said it but there you go.

These include:

Rasheed Ogularu – ACCEPTING DIVORCE AND MOVING ON

Farhana Dhalla – THANK YOU FOR LEAVING ME.

Danielle Barbereau – COPING WITH DIVORCE WHEN YOUR SPOUSE LEAVES YOU

And much more.

Today we add some “You Left me,” quotes as a means of saying it will be fine.  It will.

Our Favourite Stepmom Quotes

Published on

Here at The Divorce Magazine thought gathering some great stepmom quotes would be a good idea.

Having said that there are a couple that are stepparenting quotes as opposed to stepmom quotes only.

Do you have some that you think we should know about or which one of these is will you  add to your stepmom quotes?

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Why put together a stepmom quotes list?  Why not really?  Stepmoms have a great role to play in the lives of children of divorce and at times in helping children cope with divorce and separation.

While it is true that not only stepmoms are wonderful, it’s also true that not all mums and dads are wonderful.

I have met some lovely stepmums but have only heard of and never met some not “very nice” ones.  One of my divorced friends for instance had a wonderful relationship with the stepmum to her children that was until she married my friend’s ex-husband.  Rules changed and the life after divorce that the children knew with her around gradually changed.  She suddenly become intolerant of the children and of my friend.

My eldest daughter has a lovely stepmum and for that I will always be grateful.

Ali Wilks contributed a fab article, STEPPARENTING FROM THE STEPCHILD’S PERSPECTIVE,  on getting to know your stepchildren and seeing it from their perspective, while Jenna Korf’s article on 8 THINGS DIVORCED MOMS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT STEPMOMS, was a great hit with our readers as was Erin Careless’ articles on ON BEING A STEPMOM – LESSONS PASSED DOWN.

 

 

So hope you enjoyed the stepmom quotes above.
