         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? )
         Next month is going to be a busy month, and I’m already looking forward to July. I like to try to document my journey every Thursday, but it’s getting harder. There’s just so much to do. It’s been a busy month, and next month it will be busier. If only I was a minimalist, … More Divorce Diaries (Part 11: Trying Something New to aid in my Healing Process)
          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.)
I think I entered a new phase of this journey a couple of weeks ago, and I’m not even sure what to call this phase. After I mentioned letting go in my last post, I thought I finally came into acceptance of a lot of things. I didn’t want to let go of the … More Divorce Diaries (Part 9: The Mental Floating Zone of Protection… Detaching.)
One thing that has always been hard for me is letting go. Not just letting go but letting go and jumping into the unknown. This is the most frightened that I have ever been in my life. Instead of just worrying about one or two things, I now have anxiety in every area of … More Divorce Diaries (Part 8: The Season of Letting Go)
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!)
         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… )
Years ago, I used to watch How I Met Your Mother on a daily basis. I first discovered that show when the re-runs would come on during the hour between my other two shows. While I was waiting for the New Adventures of Old Christine to come on, I would watch How I Met … More Divorce Diaries (Part 4: I took a page out of Ted Mosby’s book)
Can I be completely honest for a second? It is hard, like really hard. It’s tough to confront your own insecurities that come forward in the midst of a divorce. The feelings of feeling broken, inadequate, unlovable and replaceable. It’s like you don’t want to give people a certain power, but when you love … More Divorce Diaries (Part 3: What Are You Fighting for, Caroline? )
It’s been a challenging time to say the least. I’ve been really contemplating on whether to speak on it or not, but this is real life, and life happens. I don’t know what I expected once the decision was made. When we came to that agreement to let this marriage go, I genuinely didn’t … More Divorce Diaries (Part 2: Sink or Swim)
