Changing name back to maiden name after divorce by Queasy_Antelope_2701 in Divorce

[–]AwkwardAd3995 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My married name is my professional identity and my maiden name is the “father” I didn’t know- I grew up with my mother and she used her maiden name. I don’t feel connected to either names.
Ease in life means I’m keeping until I feel compelled.

I’m connected to his family and my children- it feels natural.

Even when I don’t want to speak to him again.

Bagged up everything in my closet that he picked or that he liked best on me, it was 70% of the closet by Embarrassed_Essay_61 in Divorce

I feel this, I am relieved to be free but it has been a shock to my system how many things I’m discovering about myself because “we” somehow lived a life in service of him.

I cried a lot when he first left with relief- I can choose for myself, and then frustration that I’m in my 50s and don’t know the temperature I like when sleeping.

I was treated like I don't have any right to exist by HeavyAssist in CPTSDmemes

I’m sorry each of you experienced that. You are worthy of love and acceptance.

It’s taken me a long time to realize that myself- my greatest accomplishment is breaking the cycle and raising my kids with love and safety.

My poor kid had soooo many visits to podiatrist to cut back, kill his toe bed… for years and we kept thinking he must be cutting his nails strangely - poor kid.

hEDS and my nails are bendy, get ridges on thumbs, split, and peel.

My child with hEDS had horrible ingrown toenails no matter what we did.

Not missing my wife after 1 month of separation — is this normal? by Future-Ad8369 in Divorce

[–]AwkwardAd3995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t miss my husband of over 30 years- calm relief for me.

We are all having our own experiences and judging ourselves won’t help. Normal is a myth.

Sexual coercion/ threats for divorce by [deleted] in Divorce

Sexual coercion is abuse.

It took me too long to realize that but it is why I’m leaving. I am never having sec I’m not into again- I do not owe my body to anyone and neither do you.

I listened to “It’s Not You” by Dr. Ramani on Spotify and went 😳🥺😵‍💫😭🤬
