About

I started writing here after my divorce was final.  The two years prior to my separation were horrible; the year that followed was worse.  This last year has gotten better.  If you’re reading this in despair, take heart.  I didn’t think I’d ever feel halfway normal again, but I was wrong.

If you’re going to read the archives, it might make sense to do so in order:  the website begins with
this entry.

I also write regularly at Babble.com: This is the first post on that blog, which is called Divorced With Kids. The archives are not filed in order (something I’m trying to get Babble to change) but I have been slowly telling the story of my separation and divorce in chronological installments–if you click through the other posts, which are listed at the bottom of whichever entry you happen to be reading, you’ll get a somewhat disjointed narrative. (If you like that blog, please bookmark it and read it regularly: it’s hard to find on the site itself, and I am paid a small amount of money for every thousand visits.)

Please, feel free to comment with concerns of your own–not necessarily topics related to what I’ve written about on any particular day–if you’d like.  I have lucked into many smart, insightful, helpful readers from all over the world–they may well be able to offer solace and advice.  Alternately, if you’d like me to ask a divorce or separation related question anonymously, email me directly and I’ll happily oblige.
