The month of May is dedicated to Mental Health Awareness. It's no secret that the last few years have been extremely challenging and hard on everyone's mental health. From pandemics to politics, violence, and school shootings, everyone has suffered at some point.
It's hard to believe how fast children grow up. It can seem as if it was just yesterday that they were taking their first steps or saying their first full sentence. Now, your child is about to hit another huge milestone—they are leaving home for the first time.
There was a time when they were your everything. Now, you are facing the impossible—divorce. It would be an understatement to say that divorce is a shocking experience.

There isn't a person on this planet who hasn't dealt with anxiety in some form. For some people, it is often a fleeting period due to stress or a temporary moment.
We all have this idea of how things should go in our heads. However, our expectations of any situation can sometimes disappoint us. We often scratch our heads when things don't go according to plan.
