Going through a divorce, especially when there are still feelings at least on one side or a nagging “What could’ve been?” inserting itself in every waking moment, can be second to no other form of agony. Surely, a divorce is a costly process, but the largest amount is indeed paid in emotion.
Luckily, now that handheld technology seems to have reached its summit (or a summit), those who go through a divorce have a lot more tools at their disposal to feel less lonely. In the following, we’ll introduce you to 6 mobile apps that will ease your pain or at least make you forget about it for a breather.
TalkLife
TalkLife is a tiny app with life-sized effects. There are things that divorcees can’t talk about with close ones, mostly for fear of judgment. What’s more, it can be difficult, if not downright frustrating, to talk to someone about things that they haven’t experienced on their own.
All you have to do to get things off of your chest to a cast of caring people that won’t be sounding off your intimacy to others is to install TalkLife and choose the category of people you belong to. You can choose from categories like grief, work, relationships, family, and many others.
TalkLife will quickly become your therapist. You’ll connect with individuals who can not only share some useful advice and give you a shoulder to cry on but may have also had similar experiences. Talking to strangers may feel difficult at first, but sometimes it’s better to get the viewpoint of an unbiased individual.
STIGMA
STIGMA is an a-sync app that allows you to talk to other people about your mental health issues. The videos are not in real-time, but they’re really helpful when you feel down in the hole. There you can share with people that have gone through the same things as you do right now. And made it, too!
Happify
Following your divorce, you may be filled with sadness, resentment, anger, and other difficult emotions. Simply put, you’re stressed and need a break. Who doesn’t after such a traumatic event?
Happify offers a variety of mood-improving games and activities that are sure to reduce your anxiety levels in the short run. The activities have been created with the support of mental health experts and the app is completely free.
With the help of Happify, your brain will be instructed to shift from a negative thought pattern to a more positive one as quickly as possible.
Alimentor 2
If you’re overwhelmed by the draconic requirements of co-parenting, Alimentor 2 is the app for you. It allows you to keep track of time and expenses, it has an inbuilt calendar and you can export reports that are admissible in a court of law. Not only will you make sure you respect the custody agreement, but also that your ex-spouse does.
SupportPay
New costs may arise once you terminate your marriage – such as alimony or child support. Depending on your job or your financial situation, you may be unable to handle this and make ends meet at the same time. Getting a loan or asking relatives or friends for money may not be an option either.
But if you have the money or find a way to make it work, you may want an easy way to pay child support or alimony without experiencing another drama-filled meeting with your ex. Fortunately, there’s an app for this.
In this regard, SupportPay is the best choice of app you can make. It records your transactions and expenses and even has a scanner for receipts. Let’s say you live in Las Vegas, you can also download your reports and send them to your Las Vegas divorce lawyer or use them in court as proof.
SupportPay allows you to pay child support through the application directly, simplifying the process and reducing stress levels.
Sesame Street: Divorce
Children can’t understand divorce and they receive little to no education pertaining to it in school. Sesame Street: Divorce is intended for children between the ages of 2 and 8 and teaches them all they need to know about divorce in an interactive and optimistic manner.
Final Words
Divorce is hard for women, men, and children alike. No one is exempt from grief, guilt, and depression, no matter their age. This list has an app for everybody and provides a large array of services to all those who feel like they’re drowning. Remember, when things are down, they can only go up!
