Dave Jackson's Resilience: Thriving After Two Divorces
The past is the past, so I can't go back and change things that I did. I'm missing all the future if you constantly look backwards.
Going through one divorce is tough enough, but imagine navigating that emotional rollercoaster twice. In this episode of the Breakup Recovery Podcast, Barbara Stevens sits down with Dave Jackson, a man who has faced two divorces and still manages to keep a positive outlook on life. Dave opens up about the challenges he faced, from financial struggles and infertility to dealing with his first wife's alcoholism and infidelity.
He candidly shares how he moved in with his brother, who had also experienced a breakup, to help him cope with the emotional turmoil. When it came to his second marriage, Dave admits he ignored early red flags, thinking marriage would fix the relationship issues. Through it all, Dave has learned the importance of self-reflection and understanding his own actions. He values maintaining friendships, even with his ex-wives, and has worked hard to rebuild family relationships.
His story is a testament to resilience and the power of looking forward rather than dwelling on the past. Tune in to hear more about Dave's journey and gather practical tips for your own path to recovery.
