Relationship expert challenges one of America's biggest assumptions about divorce
Divorce is often viewed as the failure of a marriage, a painful last resort that leaves families fractured. One therapist is trying to change that perception through an approach that she calls "compassionate divorce," taking the sting out of ending a marriage by viewing the process in a different way.
"Discovering Diamonds: A Story of Compassionate Divorce" author and therapist Sarene Arias argues that divorce does not mean failure, and that it can be the beginning of a new phase in life rather than the end of one.
