just been thinking (one more brain cell and I'll be a cabbage), no seriously, I was looking in WH Smiths yesterday and BRIDE MAGAZINES and their ''glossy similar titles'' were winking at me!
So given you have to be a BRIDE/GROOM in the first place to qualify for a DIVORCE, where's our, the tens of thousands of divorce population's ''BIG D'' magazine?
From 'Newly Wed' - to 'Newly Single'? I couldn't find a Newly Single Magazine, no no no. I asked the ''can I help you'' store girl where their Divorce magazines were, are they near the BRIDE MAGS? Dumfounded I should make such an enquiry!
Divorce population in the UK - tens of thousands right? Thinking of Divorce Population tens of thousands right?
Divorce one of the most stressful things to hit your life, the kids life, right?
Magazine availability for the D Population?
Where is it?
Where's the Divorce magazine full of survival tips, your testomonies, problem pages, getting legally clued up pages,DIY tips, and cheer up pages?
The interest in such a magazine exists for sure, the purchasers await, I think so. The funding to launch Divorce community magazine publication could maybe come from Solicitors firms, smut-free advertising, affordable house-hold maintence firms, the list is extensive I suggest.
Advert example below
'Have you had a Divorce lately? ' Then our Spa Weekend staff are waiting to take your call - that kinda thing. Think of more tongue in cheek ads -
Get the Big 'D' taboo subject out of the closet and on the shelf,buy it and flaunt it - what say ye all?
Not like we are talking about porn mags is it? Oh, they're already on the shelves down town - kinda makes my point!
Well, I guess bride magazines have a potential readership of approx 250,000 p.a. (rough number of marriages and assume each couple shares their copy) plus parents etc may buy them.
A big D mag has an audience of about 300,000 p.a. (rough number of divorces p.a. is 150,000 but as there are 2 parties involved and they are unlikely to be sharing anything voluntarily - except a load of grief - the readership is doubled).
DITTO !! It's a sure thing, so the potential magazine, and the humour content as well as the grief is endless me thinks.
The ads could be - The Divorce outfitters hire/firm, ''the very thing to wear on your freedom day''. Your un-bridesmaid's dresses hiring now, the mother of the divorcee, hats, shoes, handbags - what else?
Photography services for those emerging from the courts - caputure moment?
''Buffet Services'' providing ''SOUR GRAPES'- ''Apple Pie and custordy'- 'Swiss-Bank' Roll' - 'Porkies Pie'?
Ceromonial bonfires of all the love letters, photos, bring your own stash of ''forgettables'' etc
That's good. Anything for free is brilliant. Anything known about that's good, brilliant, and fantastic. I wish with all my broken heart that I'd known about this site right from the start, but alas I only found the site after 12 mths when I was hundreds of pounds down in legal fees, and Respondent's form E form which the Questionnaire arose caused me near nervous breakdown as so many misleading things, ommissions etc
At that point I sat and wondered if there were anyone else like me, or whether this whole business of his Form E deceit rendered me a true freak of nature of the divorce world, or not. So I typed in keywords ''Lies on Form E Divorce'' - bingo. That's how I found the site and it has helped bring a sense of non-freakery of nature cos there are others scratching their heads over similar things as me.
Had reached tipping point, so there must be a God as found the site at that fragile point of deep despair feeling I was alone and being buried alive. I thought if anyone else asks me ''how my divorce is going'' I will scream!
They are too busy reading publications about quickie non-complicated divorces. Friends mean well, but in their World of what has influenced them divorces are over in a year and mine is not as now in 13th mth. I get tired of the divorce proceedings going on and on, and the ignorance of well meaning people who ask ''how come your divorce isn't over - you should have got your absolute by now' ?!' --grrrrrrr
I'm 54 years old, and have life experience, but not divorce knowledge related, but I'm learning, and just like divorce it's a process. As the old adage goes, ''you can't sow a seed one day and get a harvest the next'' it takes time, but some people want to blame the soil for not producing their expectations within their time-scale.
To avoid hearing these questions I've found that I've avoided the people who ask me, which has been 90% of the friends I have, the other 10% who do understand live miles away and I don't see them, and that's left a huge void for isolation and lonliness to take root if that makes sense?
