Today’s cross-post is from Liz Lobster, blogger at tata20s. ***** Driving home from the city tonight, station-hopping the radio, I came across a local station’s music program for the evening: Best-ever Break-up songs. Yup, they were taking requests. Hopped on my phone for a bit of Blackberry-Roulette (don’t tell my parents!), and texted in a couple of requests. [...] As agonizing as the divorce process can be, most of us come out the other side with relatively little permanent damage. In fact, after we’ve had time to gain some perspective, many of us feel that we’re actually stronger than we were before. I’m (mostly) in that camp. In fact, I’ve been trying to decide whether [...] Right after my divorce, it was pretty hard for me to “keep my chin” up, as they say. Hold my head up high? That took months, and in some ways, years. This weekend, I went to my hometown with my parents and one of my brothers to attend a fundraiser for the wrestling club that my [...] Today’s guest post is from Aubrey, a 27-year-old woman who recently went through a divorce. ***** I blame Bikram. I’d just spent a year in Iraq, not wanting to come home to face the music. I cried secretly in the bathroom as I reread bookmarked pages of the now-cliche Eat, Pray, Love and wondered if I could ever [...] Today’s guest post is from Liz Lobster, who describes herself as an Über-Bookworm, Writer, Clown, Philosopher, Realist, Idealist, Cynic, and PANK (Professional Auntie with No Kids). She’s recently divorced and about to turn 29. ***** So, this past week I had the extremely satisfying opportunity of advising my ex-husband to invest in a certain iPhone app (see [...] When I went through my divorce nearly six years ago, I wasn’t on Facebook yet. Twitter? Hadn’t even heard of it. Unfortunately, I didn’t know anyone in “real life” who I could talk to about divorce, at least not in the “been there, done that” sense. It wasn’t until I started blogging that I connected with [...] Listen to “Changed Your Mind,” a pleasantly twangy piece by singer-songwriter Sarah Morris, and it’s obvious that this young woman knows a thing or two about heartache and, specifically, divorce. In reality, she’s a happily-married mother expecting her second child. Her good friend, P.K., inspired the song, along with “Good Fight,” a song about trying [...] Cheryl Strayed’s memoir, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, has been my steady companion for the better part of two weeks. I haven’t felt so attached to a book in years, and when I turned the final page, I had the warm buzz that only comes from a great read (or [...] Earlier this week, I interviewed a young woman named P.K. whose divorce was final in December. I can’t wait to tell you more about her story—and I will in the next week or two—but the thing that’s been on my mind this week is the look in her beautiful brown eyes. The look was subtle. [...] In my experience, people often report that they’re actually stronger, happier, and more self-confident after their divorces. However, if you’re in the ugly thick of things—whether that’s negotiating your divorce terms, mourning the loss of your supposed life partner, or facing a financial disaster—that idea might seem downright laughable.
