Wans't Invited

Tough one when ex is abusive and controlling. Grieve with my kids, support them in their -

I took my kids to the funeral. Kept to myself. Game my ex a hug afterwards. It was fine.

He told me I wasn't welcome at the funeral for a niece that passed.

Wrkd on myself, put myself out there. Mtg women I thought were "out of my league" 🤗

How to navigate a death on his side of the family. They were my family too.

Scared as hell to be alone

That akward feeling when you aren't on best nor bad terms.

Why does dating have to be so difficult? Why do men want women to make the first move?

How can I deal with the pain of being left?

How did he quit on our kids so easily?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wherre did all these MILFs come from?

Exhausted. Vetting attorneys for the latest round-false accusation of alienating child.

Coparenting with someone who still tries to control you via the young kids is just wild 🤯

There are so many "seasons" of divorce and recovery from it. They come so fast and hit so hard.

I am hating dating so much! Felons, married men, and ghosting. Ugh!

The men that prey on newly diorced single moms is disgusting.

Mine might actually be coming to an end here soon. It been over a year! 😐

A friend saw my ex with a woman who looks so much like me he was gonna hug her!! 👯

Trying the dating apps...halp!!!

Not ready to tell my ex about an out of town trip I have planned 😰

Lonely. It's lonely on the other side sometimes

Boundaries and less than a week til divorce is final!

Can't get through to co that they are emotionally harming child by limiting communication

Dating again sucks! I'm just going to be single forever and die alone 😂 🙈

The anxiety is so consuming I feel like I'm not going to survive

My STBX is a stage 5 clinger. He needs new friends or a hobby, or hell, a girlfriend! 🤣

4 years in trying to get divorced. Going through the courts he fights me on everything!

Dating seemed easier in my head

It's like people can't help but say the dumbest things about my divorce

Kids schedules back n forth get so crazy, it's hard on me, must take a toll on them.

This part really sucks 😔 but you do get to know who your real friends are.

Yes. Mostly because I dont trust them-they support the abuser disguised as a victim

Sure did. Lost my whole family (parents, siblings, aunt, uncle, cousin) too. They picked him 🤷‍♀️

Unfriended and blocked on social media because they believed his side of the story.

I chose to remove them. But yes. And I'm better for it. I chose people who chose me.

I'm not responsible for raising my ex. 🤪

My ex partner's narrative of me

Convincing other people why I wanted/needed a divorce

I am not responsible for making everyone feel ok cuz a lot of this will feel awful and that is ok

Making sure my side is told... who cares

I don't get why people still get married. Specially if you are a man. Divorce grape is real....

How do I get through this and not ruin everyone

He's taking me to court for access he's never wanted to see the child and I've never stopped him. 😐🙃

Why people call it throwing away people when it just didn't work out.

Why can't he find a place and move out?!?

Spent thousands + years to finzalize & now he wants to reconcile 4 the kids 🙄

Fair! Fair! Fair! Her insistence that life is supposed to be fair is driving us straight to court.

I am 1000% ok being the 80 yo cat lady sitting alone on my porch swing. At least it's mine.

a fair settlement

Feeling sad my almost 4 y/o will miss every other week of dance bc her dad won't take her 😢

it's been two years and I'm only now getting over it. Realizing how selfish and cold ex was.
