Some marriages last a year and others last decades – but from what we’ve seen, divorces are always difficult. It’s often disruptive emotionally, socially, financially and the emotional wounds can leave us less ready to take on challenges right when we need that strength the most. In an effort to help those going through divorce or separation, we have put together stories from others who have gone through divorce.

Choosing divorce was the single most difficult choice of my life. I never wanted to be divorced, being a child of divorced parents I did not want that for my children. I was with my ex-husband for a total of eight years, four of them being married. There were so many red flags that I should have paid attention to (I really want to write a book). Read more>>

The most troublesome experience one will at any point go through is a separation. This has not been my most memorable rodeo yet it was my most troublesome because it constrained me to address a few things inside myself that required recuperating. As we probably are aware, mending is similarly basically as troublesome as a separation. Read more>>

Nobody ever wants to get divorced but things happen. You have to realize that you can not change for anyone. You first have to love yourself and realize that life does get better.

I still am lol. Kidding, Sort of I don’t think you necessarily “overcome” divorce but you learn how to live with it. I am grateful for the choice I made to end my marriage but I would be remiss to say there aren’t moments when I don’t have regrets (about the majority of it) Post-separation, I was in survival mode and stayed on the go. I thought I was dealing with the ending of my marriage but truthfully I wasn’t dealing with it at all. Read more>>

Holy cow, you know, I’ve never been asked about how I overcame divorce, so I’m picking this question. I was married from 2016-2017. A single year. Because of that, I had one of the easiest divorces. It was an Internet divorce, $300, my ex-husband filed it. No children, no shared assets—cut and dry divorce. Butttt the year I was married, was so traumatizing, I feel equal to all my other divorced peers. Read more>>
