Rating: Summary: You Can't Go Back Review: When I picked up this book I had been unwillingly separated for 2 years and was two months away from a divorce I was emotionally fighting every step of the way. I had been in therapy and on and off anti-depressants for a year. I eventually became convinced that I would never be happy again if this divorce went through. In one month, this book did for me what a year of therapy hadn't-it gave me freedom and happiness through helping me understand how (and why) to let go. And, believe me, when I started to read, the LAST thing I intended to do was let go. A month later, I ended up sailing through my divorce hearing with a positive attitude and an eye on the future. We've heard a lot of what Ms. Ford says in this book before but, somehow, she says it differently. I'm not sure what exactly is different, but Ms. Ford's openness about her own pain and transformation fortifies her credibility and is what made this book unique and palatable for me. Believe it or not, through this read, I have come to realize that my divorce is the best thing that ever happened to me when it comes to personal growth. EVERYONE (not just divorcés/divorcées) who has ever had a hard time letting go of or forgiving others or themselves can benefit from reading this. Spiritual Divorce has helped me to understand how to be happy again. In fact, it has given me the strength to be TRULY happy for the first time in my life. You won't want to go back after this one.
