divorced

Sometimes a good divorce is better than a bad marriage.

The Me Nobody Knows
The Me Nobody Knows On April 4, 1975, my mother fled Vietnam alone with five children. Two weeks later Saigon would fall to the North Vietnamese army and the city would be renamed Ho Chi Minh City.

Are You Fighting for Custody? 6 Actions That Can Sabotage Your Case
When I got divorced, I knew without a doubt that I had to get custody of my kids. My ex-husband was not capable of taking care of them on a regular basis. Honestly, I didn’t think he was even capable of taking care of them on weekends.

The Highs and Lows of the Holiday Season
When I was a kid, Christmas was THE most exciting time of the year for me. Christmas eve was the one night where I had so much trouble falling asleep because I was vibrating with excitement over what the next day would entail. Christmas morning was incredible. I think back and I don't think there was ever a Christmas morning where I felt disappointed. Not a single Christmas morning.

Jumping Off the Cliff
I tend to stay in awful situations that benefit everyone except me. So, when I decided to get divorced it felt freeing. Don’t get me wrong, it was terrifying like jumping off of a cliff. Yet, liberating in the sense that you know there’s a bungee cord. However, that freedom only lasted during the two days it took me to drive from Texas to Arizona with three small children. I drove there for no other reason than my parents had an extra room and I had nowhere else to go. Coming back to Arizona after seven years felt a little strange but living back at my parents’ house was completely unsettling.

I was NOT Prepared for My Divorce
Join our Divorce by Rose Community App ANONYMOUSLY I was so naive. I was so blinded. I was so clueless. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I honestly thought at the beginning that the divorce is about: I don’t get along with you, you don’t get along with me, we shouldn’t be married, you go your way, I go my way and everybody goes their separate ways and the only thing we have in common are the kids. And all my thoughts were about child support and you know and money and financial situations, but also with assets and liabilities- the whole mixture of money and kids. Little did I know that divorce was a whole lot more than just that.

Going to Therapy Wrecked My Marriage
I had begged my Was-band to go to couples counseling with me for several years. While we were polite to one another, there was little warmth or connection. We had separate hobbies with no overlap (unless you count watching certain tv shows) and we were beginning to have mostly separate social circles (by which I mean I had friends that he made no effort to know, and he talked to 3 people over his headset that he gamed with). We were roommates that got along decently well—unless we talked about our relationship. Those conversations spiraled like a corkscrew in a too-soft corked bottle of wine: Bits of debris floating everywhere, ruining the contents.
