How can I gain more control over my divorce?
You recognize what you want. You seek the help you need to achieve that and you work very hard with that person or persons to do that. You pick the right lawyer, you pick the right therapist.. You don't hang around with people who are going to assist you in over indulging, swallowing your sorrows with a glass of scotch. A glass here and there is fine, but hanging out at the bar? Sitting at Cheers for the rest of your life is not what you want to be doing. You have to take control over the process, know when you can't control it and know who can help you control yourself in the process.
