Is anyone else coping with divorce? Have you found that keeping a journal is helpful?

I discovered the importance of writing down the events of my personal life when I was recovering from an alcohol addiction. I then applied the same self help technique, when I began to go through a divorce. I was told by my attorney that this was a good thing to do, because some of the entries may be submitted in court. I have been divorced for a while now but still find it necessary to journal. I also reflect back and recall how abusive the ex-wife was, it helps me to stay away from her. I have really identified with several of the stories at a website called http://www.divorcefire.com. When I found the site two weeks ago, I was inspired to begin keeping a journal again.Is anyone else coping with divorce? Have you found that keeping a journal is helpful?

I left my husband two years ago with no regrets. So I didn't have anything to cope with.
I started a journal several years ago when I got divorced, and I still keep one. I do not do it daily anymore, but weekly, it helps to keep me on track and stops me from repeating my same mistakes. I think it is a great idea.
I did it when I was going through my divorce. I still document alot of things that my goofy ex tries to pull. This way, if I have to go back to court, I can have dates and events in order. They may consider it hearsay but if you have to speak it helps.
How abusive your ex wife was ... how about you looking at you and say ....God how horrible I must have been given her a life of hell with a alcohol addiction... The journals good . it might help you 1 day realize you brought the divorce on yourself!
