It's a given that divorces are hard. And when they come with custody battles and other legalities, the process is even more challenging.

Making the decision to divorce one's spouse can be tormenting. The reason is they may be breaking the values they've held for a long time.

There is also a feeling of hopelessness when one decides to go their separate ways from the person they thought they'd spend the rest of their lives with. Even after it's settled, the resentment, confusion, emotional pain, and self-blame will not disappear instantly.

Divorces can be nasty for everyone—A-list celebrities included. We've seen Britney Spears, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Madonna go through this affair.

The case of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is a recent example of a messy divorce. They may have finalized the divorce half a decade ago, but the drama continues, to the point that everyone on social media is talking about it.

Both sides complained about going through physical and verbal abuse. According to Heard, she was afraid that Depp would try to kill her as she received threats that he would do so.
