When you go through a divorce, your ability to remember things and stay focused is going to be difficult. There are obvious effects of divorce on your brain and in this video, attorney Billie Tarascio talks about how it affected her, and her children, during the highest stress times of her divorce. There were lost keys, forgotten documents, and more. Even the children were more forgetful during the divorce. For others, depression is a major issue, and the heartbreak slows them down, a lot.
You may need to give yourself a break and don’t beat yourself up over these lapses. Give yourself time to heal. The good news is that once you’re past this very stressful time, the effects of divorce your brain will slowly subside, and you’ll finally regain clarity.
