I've seen a lot of divorced people who feel like their self worth is less than it used to be. I'm sure that a lot of this is affected by the reasons for divorce. For instance, if your ex was cheating or had an addiction or something. And divorce itself is depressing. But whatever the case, we need to remember that we are all unique, special, and that we all have something to contribute. Just because someone else may have failed to recognise these things, doesn't mean that our self worth is at all diminished.
On http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/self-worth, I found this quote from Abraham Lincoln.
“It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great God who made him.”
― Abraham Lincoln
