What Do Breakup Ornaments Or Divorce Parties Have To Do With Moving On?

Today I came across a little website that sells breakup ornaments, actually there was only one, and a box if you wanted to get fancy.

It was a little round ornament with ‘Our Last Christmas Together’ and the year on it. Nothing really nasty but I don’t really see the point.

It goes with the divorce party genre, which as you know, I don’t really understand either. It is not celebrating getting out of a miserable relationship I do not understand it is the need to hurt the other person with a spiteful gift or recognition I do not get.

If leaving a relationship is a growing experience then how can making your ex feel bad be part of that experience?

My idea of a divorce celebration is a party to celebrate the new things happening in a new life not having a good time at the expense of the past. To rejoice in things that make you happy is magical, to make merry when someone else, including children and family could be hurting is not so nice.

I believe the divorce party is here to stay if the divorce party websites are any indication and I guess, we will see more and more breakup gifts as these take off.

The thing that bothers me the most as a coach, is that people will grow not through these types of things. They seem to come from angry resentful feelings which do not help anyone move forward, especially when those feelings are celebrated.

Moving forward from a divorce must be about finding peace with your marriage, learning how you contributed to the relationship simply so you will not have to make the same mistakes again. It is with knowledge of yourself that you can move forward and this is what needs to be celebrated.

Let’s see more ‘I’ve Found Myself’ or ‘New House New Life, I’m So Proud Of Me’ parties. Ornaments can say the same sorts of things, celebrate the good for the individual.
