- The Mommy Blog: This is why it’s so much more fun to parent when you’re NOT married anymore - “I swear my ex and I crack each other up all the time. Now that we don’t live together and don’t have to bear any of the consequences for the other’s actions (or share credit scores), we’re actually better friends.” (more)
- Julie Savard on firstwivesworld: Divorce Makes Everyone Crazy - “Divorce can make you feel crazy, like you’ve lost everything. It can make your mind explode until you wonder if you really are nuts. Sorting out those emotions, making sense of the havoc you live in, is a huge, huge task.” (more)
- Times & Seasons: Living with Another’s Agency - “The hardest lesson I’ve ever learned — and one I have to relearn, periodically — is that sometimes I just can’t change things. Agency is not just the right for me to choose for my life; it is also, obviously, for others to choose for their lives.” (more)
- Debbie Nigro on firstwivesworld: Who You Gonna Call? - “[W]hen you live alone or live alone with kids, you now have to decide who you want to ‘bother’ if you’re dying. Long nights on your couch alone in a fetal position also make you re-assess this question. Kids can only do so much and, truthfully, as long they see you’re still breathing they really lose interest.” (more)
