Reluctantly Divorced Man or Woman

Everyone who gets divorced chose to get divorced and is better off for it.

ARE YOU A VICTIM OF THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION?

Dear Friend,

We have identified twelve categories of people who have been harmed by the Sexual Revolution. This questionnaire explores the Reluctantly Divorced Man or Woman. Use this checklist to see if you are a Victim of the Sexual Revolution.

Our goal here is not merely to identify Victims. The goal is to help the Victims become Survivors, and the Survivors to become Activists for positive change.

Are You Reluctantly Divorced?

  • Did your spouse announce that they were leaving you, perhaps even without warning?
  • Did your spouse leave you to be in another sexual relationship?
  • Did you try to save your marriage?
  • Did your spouse abandon you and your children?
  • Did your spouse abandon you and take your children?
  • Do you feel that your children suffered from your divorce?
  • Do your children feel that they suffered from the divorce?
  • Do you feel that you suffered financially from your divorce?
  • Do you feel that your child’s other parent has interfered with you having the kind of relationship with your children that you hoped for?
  • Do you worry about the time that your children spend with their other parent, due to what may be going on in their home?
  • Do you feel that the family court treated you fairly, honestly and with respect?
  • Do you feel anger at the family court?
  • Do you feel that your situation as a Reluctantly Divorced Person is socially invisible?
