Divorce Diaries (Part 22: Experiencing the first Holidays after Separation)

December 14, 2025

          It’s been almost 6 full months since I’ve been “physically separated” from my soon-to-be ex-husband, and words can’t even begin to describe the emotional roller coaster during this time. It’s so weird, because it’s not the typical emotions that I would’ve expected.  We’ve been mentally and emotionally separated long before we moved out, so … More Divorce Diaries (Part 22: Experiencing the first Holidays after Separation)

Divorce Diaries (Part 21: When People Congratulate You for Your Divorce… Thanks??)

September 29, 2025

          There are a lot of things I might not understand. Sometimes I take things as signs, and sometimes I’m just left pondering and second guessing everything. Usually when people find out that you’re getting a divorce they say things like: “I’m so sorry” or “I’m so sorry to hear that.” But not in this … More Divorce Diaries (Part 21: When People Congratulate You for Your Divorce… Thanks??)

Divorce Diaries (Part 19: When 2 months ago feels like Years ago.)

August 21, 2025

          This process has been interesting to say the least. It’s been 7 to 8 weeks since the move and oddly enough, it feels like it was so long ago. You know that weird feeling when you think back to your adolescent relationships and it was so long ago that it almost feels like it … More Divorce Diaries (Part 19: When 2 months ago feels like Years ago.)

Divorce Diaries (Part 18: Feeling Two Things at Once)

August 3, 2025

          Feeling two things at once is an interesting feeling. You go from wanting to keep your distance but wanting to make sure that they’re taking care of themselves. You go from feeling a sense of hostility, to worrying about them. The love doesn’t stop just because you’re feeling resentful, frustrated, or upset, and I … More Divorce Diaries (Part 18: Feeling Two Things at Once)

Divorce Diaries (Part 13: And Just Like That… I found a Reason to feel Hopeful.)

June 12, 2025

          Throughout this journey of slowly separating, I’ve felt so many emotions. More than I could ever imagine. It hasn’t been a straight line, downward slope or a uphill slope. It has been a roller coaster of zigzags, but one feeling that has remained constant is ….fear. Fear of the unknown. It’s scary you know, … More Divorce Diaries (Part 13: And Just Like That… I found a Reason to feel Hopeful.)

Divorce Diaries (Part 12: Are you able to Share Your Thoughts and Feelings? )

June 5, 2025

          Most of us are familiar with the popular show The Office. It’s definitely one of my top favorite shows. I started watching The Office about 9 to 10 years ago. I wanted to see what the hype was all about, and just like most of America I fell in love with it and became … More Divorce Diaries (Part 12: Are you able to Share Your Thoughts and Feelings? )

Divorce Diaries (Part 10: Learning How to Forgive Myself for Ignoring the Red Flags.)

May 15, 2025

           Lately I’ve been trying to learn how to forgive myself. This is probably one of the hardest parts of my divorce journey and will most likely take the most time. I know that people say hindsight is 20/20. They always say you shouldn’t judge the person you were years ago. Hell, even I always … More Divorce Diaries (Part 10: Learning How to Forgive Myself for Ignoring the Red Flags.)

Divorce Diaries (Part 6: Separated but Living Under the Same Roof. The Silence is Deafening!)

April 6, 2025

          Being separated is one thing, but being separated under the same four walls is another story. There’s nothing more of a mind-fuck than seeing the shell of the person you once knew walk by you every day. There’s little to no speaking. Most days it’s a 1 to 5 words limit. One day it … More Divorce Diaries (Part 6: Separated but Living Under the Same Roof. The Silence is Deafening!)

Divorce Diaries (Part 5: Why I am Choosing the Harder Path and Not Asking for Alimony… )

April 3, 2025

          I’ve been in my head a lot lately. Throughout this whole divorce process, I’ve been having a challenging time with the whole alimony thing. We didn’t have a prenup, but I’m still not asking for anything. People think I’m crazy and tell me that I should think about what I’ve been through. Even recently, … More Divorce Diaries (Part 5: Why I am Choosing the Harder Path and Not Asking for Alimony… )
