I journaled during my first year of going thru my divorce. My wife was having an extramarital affair and my emotions were all over the place. Like a diary, I journaled every day for about 6 months. I needed to - it helped me focus as I was going thru the divorce process. I saved them along with every other document from lawyers - its in a box. I going to burn it all next year - 10 yr anniversary of my divorce.

It is a toxic box - like plutonium opening it up and reading the documents, it's unhealthy. Recently I learned that my ex is a beneficiary of a pension I have. I thought I took care of this, my mistake. I had to produce a copy of the divorce resolution - I thought I had it in the box. So as I'm looking, I start reading - it was making me ill. I covered the box put it away. It reminded me of Raiders of the Lost Arc. So for $5, I got a copy from State of IL. No phone calls to lawyers, no more reading, no calling my ex. I'm at peace again.
