Some people think that it’s holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it’s letting go. –Unknown
For those of us who have already been through, or those of us just beginning the process, divorce brings upon us a whole host of experiences that may challenge our sense of self and the choices we have made in our lives. In this circle, we hope to provide support to each other as we share our unique perspectives.

I can’t keep doing it this way
The end of my marriage came suddenly on a January day in 2019. I can only explain it like those stories of a pet who for years sits at the train station or bus stop and waits for someone who never returns. Unlike the pet though, people aren't and never were interested in helping the…
Married young
This is my first entry ever. I’m hoping to just let it all out. I’m young, 26 and getting a divorce. To even be able to write it out is freaking me out. We were only married for 2 years, yet I feel so much pain.. I’m having trouble navigating through this time. I know…
Is She Really An Option?
Hi guys, I know many are asleep right now but this couldn't make me sleep, lost my wife mid last year and I'm still trying to keep up, but this my ex won't stop trying to fit in, and she once caused a little trouble between me and my wife when she was alive, and…
Inspired by “Many Pity Parties”
The old entries have been mostly restored... I think. It's always kind of painful to read things that were written long ago because after having done therapy weekly for almost a year I just see... coverups, lies, B.S. to try and appease. It's as if by writing something I will make myself believe ...
From ‘I do’ to ‘I don’t’
Together since December 2012. Married May 13, 2017. We've had problems for awhile. She won't communicate. I asked her if she wanted a divorce December 2018. She said yes. I moved out January 13, 2019, from the home we bought together in March 2018. She told me she was going to start the divorce p...
Bouncy
It has been a busy couple of weeks. Chris’ Mum had her operation. All went well. Kelly stayed with me a few days. She’s made peace with Chris to a point which meant he was picking her up from my house and he spent a little time with the kids because of that. This has…
Braver than you believe
It is a strange day today. It’s a long story but I will try to keep it concise. Basically, since Chris left 5 years ago my relationship with my ex mother in law has been up and down. At first she totally took his side and supported him despite the many many MANY heinous things…
New Normal(s)
Today is Thursday and our Thursdays are now visitation days as opposed to our Saturdays. I usually dread them but now they're becoming our new normal,rapidly. It happened for me sooner on some things than others, but this one feels like the last big one for awhile. When we get to HippeKid's first...
LB: The day my marriage ended
I am going to start any historical posts with LB which stands for looking back - to differentiate them from current posts to save any confusion. So! I will start at the beginning. The lead up to the day my husband told me our marriage was over. December 2012 Over Christmas things were a bit…
Looking Back
It has been a crazy 5 years and that is an understatement! I feel ready now to start documenting what happened. So I am going to post here some "looking back" posts to recount my journey. I will post normal "current" up to date posts also but I do want to get it all out…
