Submitted by Delaine Moore At three and a half years into my divorce, I no longer feel like I’m mourning my marriage. The grief, the fear, the heartache of betrayal - they lie behind me now, serving as sources of strength and wisdom, not pain. But getting over my marriage is one thing, getting over my ex’s behavior during [...]

Filed under Family, NoMore, Parenting, Single Moms
Submitted by Delaine “Even if the day was 36 hours long, I still couldn’t accomplish everything I need to do.” “I’m spread so thinly I feel like I’m sucking in every area of my life.” “With three young kids AND working full-time, I never get enough time for ME.” These are all statements I’ve thought and said aloud [...]

Submitted by Delaine One of the scariest things about divorce is that, like or not, ready or not, it calls us to look within ourselves and seriously ask: NOW what? Who do I want to be right now and in the next phase of my life? In work, love, home, family, health and so on, what do I REALLY want? On a [...]

Submitted by Delaine Since separating from my ex-husband three years ago, I haven’t slept with many men; in fact, less than a handful. Oh – let me clarify: I mean actually sleeping with men. This has been the case for two reasons. One, I haven’t wanted to sleep beside most of them. And two, I usually have my [...]
“Ex” – An Ugly Little Word?

Filed under Evolution, NoMore, Reflections, The Ex
Submitted by Delaine “EX-husband,” “EX-wife,” “The EX.” The term “ex” is one we all use after divorce, in both our written and oral communications. It’s something we don’t give much thought to either – it’s just part of the English language, right? But have you ever noticed how you feel when say it? What about when someone ELSE uses it [...]
Another big life passage is upon me: All the kids are in school

Submitted by Delaine Three weeks ago, the youngest of my three children started school full time. And as she disappeared into the school with a brave look on her face, I stood in the school yard waiting for ‘it’ to hit me: sadness…or at least nostalgia. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for ten years after all… But I [...]

Submitted by Delaine Have you ever observed a woman sinking deeper and deeper into a bad relationship and know that it is not your job to intervene? What if this woman was with your ex-husband? Take Carrie as an example. The relationship she is currently involved in has ‘Destructive’ written all over it – but [...]

Submitted by Delaine At 66 years old, my mom is a real firecracker. 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 [...]

Submitted by Delaine It’s been three and a half years since my ex-husband and I split up. And since then, despite the many dates and mini-relationships I’ve had, I’m still single. But I don’t think of this as being a ‘bad’ thing ; I think I’ve needed this time – to heal, to grow, to like myself more…and to get [...]
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 [...]
