The end of any relationship is rarely a happy one, and when it comes to ending a marriage that has been scarred with infidelity or abuse, the ensuing separation and divorce can be as bitter as the marriage itself. Couples get embroiled in vicious battles over their children and material assets, and all involved have to go through severe emotional turmoil.
There is no denying the emotional pain that comes from having to let go of a relationship that was meant to last for a lifetime. Sometimes the effects of separation can haunt one or both the partners for a lifetime. At times one of the battling parties may consciously or unconsciously launch an emotional warfare, by telling the partner that he or she was a lousy parent, completely unsatisfactory in bed, or flaunt a new partner even before the divorce proceedings have been completed.
Psychologists advise that when a person has to face this kind of behavior from his or her estranged partner, the best form of response is to not engage in it at all. Other forms of mental or psychological abuse common during this period are coming up with false allegations of abuse, both physical and mental, and trying to poison the children's minds against the other parent. Emotional terrorism is quite common at this stage, especially if one partner had trusted the other with closely guarded secrets.
The deadliest form of abuse during separation and divorce is when violence enters the picture. The authorities need to be informed immediately if one partner starts showing his or her violent streak at this stage, and obtaining a restraining order becomes a necessity.
