Wrestling with Words

One of the most unexpected things about being divorced is how clumsy my tongue has become. I find certain words or phrases trip me up; words like “ex” or “divorced.” A friend of mine says he keeps stumbling over pronouns; struggling with me instead of we and mine instead of ours. At one time, my [...]

Insanity: Or How Crazy You Feel When Someone Else Defines You

I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting to get a different result.  I always liked that saying because it rang true to me.  So many of us do this, even though it’s illogical. But last night I heard an even [...]

What I Think Of My Divorced Mom

This woman has so much energy, she makes 20 year olds look like slugs.  But much more than that, mom is confident.  She’s generous beyond belief.  She’s sexy.  Has taken great care of herself.  And she spends her days either working 10 hour shifts in [...]

If there was ever a time I’d use a psychic, divorce was it!

Submitted by Delaine At any point since your marriage ended, have you been inspired to see a tarot card reader or psychic? Cause I have.  A few times, in fact.  I’ve also looked for ‘angel footprints’ and messages from Above – it’s all about needing a bit of faith, isn’t it?  In ourselves, our futures AND the universe we live [...]

Do you ever wonder, “Is it ME?”

Submitted by Delaine Warning: I’m a little scattered today… I need to ask you something.  Hopefully I can coherently spit out my thoughts here.  So here goes:  Have you ever a conversation with your ex where his position on issues seemed so blatantly wrong, his perception so skewed, that you sat there wondering, “Am I really off [...]
