About 40 Huron County women Met in Clinton last week to hear Nancy McLeod, a counsellor at the Huron Centre for Children and Youth and share their feelings about divorce. Feel- ings like helplessness, a sense of failure, denial, anger and depression are normal after any loss such as divorce, said Ms. McLeod. "You'll probably sense you're alone in a way you've never been before," she said. "It's an emotionally expensive time but you can come through it at peace and excited about writin a new chapter of your life." Reasonk for divolrce are many. They in- chide include 'factors such as changes' -in society's values, anlability to-eommunicate,- mobili- ty .and the isolation from an extended family that results and generational patterns. "Some women have terrible struggles in marriage such as alcoholism and battering. We go into a relationship hoping we're going to. be happy butsometimes ..it, .doesn't work. out that way'." Howmany people go into marriage can.. be a cause of future problems, said Ms. McLeod. "We have to teach people what to expect in marriage. We spend far too much time on white dresses, photographers and parties," said one woman. "I think we're really conditioned to gear ourselves to marriage. We're told to expect a man in shining armor and to do anything to please and satisfy him. So when we're courting, we don't show our real selves so he won't get angry and we'll be able to keep him. When we're married, we suddenly realize we don't know each other," said Ms. McLeod. In adulthood, people start to ask themselves questions such as who am I? How much time do I have left? How alive and vital -fir stagnant iia-I-fee12 .Ar-e•my-goals and values •being. invigor-ated or violated by my present living arrangements? Answering these questions can lead to a meed to change and grow. As both partners grow at different rates, conflicts arise which can further strengthen the relationship if the couple works at soly- h g thenior can destroy1t. -" -- WI pay a toll for water CLINTON - The local branch of the Women's Institute met on Jan. 26.

"I'm in no way suggesting that marriage is a bad institution. I think there's tremen- dous hope for if but we're changing so quick- ly and so radically that we have to look at it," she said. Once the decision is made to divorce, those involved go through a mourning pro- cess similar to that after a death. There are the stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance which can take several years. Going through the process alone or with counselling helps people to heal faster, says Ms. McLeod. Reactions from friends who are also try- ing to deal With the divorce are sometimes hard to understand. "Once you're divorced, you're suddenly seen as the scarlet woman and get all these advances -from friends' husbands or friends will act very superior or be exceedingly in- terested- nterested- in all thh gorey details IzfFIe. divorce. But, you have to remember that your friends' reactions are out of their own hurt and pain, not because they are bad peo- ple," said Ms. McLeod. The refugees of a split family are the children who need all the love they can get to get through the divorce. Ms. McLeod ex- plained, "No matter how bad the relation- ship is, the kids will elect to keep the mar- riage together but there are lots of benefits for them when a bad marriage ends and it's important to let them know that." Even worse than a high conflict marriage is a high conflict divorce for children so it's best to refrain from fighting in front of the children. If children are old enough to talk and understand "I love you", adults should try to prepare them for a split. Mistakes parents make during a divorce are denying access of the other parent to the children, putting the children in the middle, making them choose between parents, runn- ing messages through the children and vis gi.

' "You are an adult and the brealt-uPillaY have been no one's fault but least of all your child's fault," she said. Because they feel abandoned at a time of divorce, children need nurturing front bOtli parents. Ms. McLeod said that parents should obey the three must nots durmg:a divorce - they must not the let the chtl ! think the divorce is their fault, they m .rte let the children think their parents ,. oA'A love them and they must not rundown: the other parent. One situation that could happen if a parent runs down the other is if at a later time the parent says, "You're just like your father - mother," the child will associate all the previous comments with himself and feel unloved. Children who already feel comfortable t,a kh g; is their parentswill,have an "ligtime of divorce since they can communicate , their feelings and fears in the life crisis, she said.
