5 years divorced - life looks totally different now

Jun 271 min read

Just hit the five year mark since my divorce was finalized and I was thinking about how much has changed. I'm healthier, actually sleeping through the night, and I laugh way more now. Don't get me wrong, divorce was brutal and there were times I thought I'd never feel normal again. But I'm dating someone who actually respects me, my kids are thriving on a solid schedule, and I'm not walking on eggshells anymore. The person I was before wouldn't recognize me now. Anyone else feel like divorce was the thing that needed to happen for you to become who you were supposed to be?

That's really great to hear. Divorce is rough but it sounds like you've come out the other side in a good place. Hope you're taking time to celebrate hitting that mark.

Five years is huge. The fact that you're at a place where you can reflect on how much has changed in a positive way says everything about the work you've put in. Proud of you for getting through that.

That's awesome man. Five years is a real milestone. I'm still in the thick of the co-parenting journey and hearing from someone on the other side of it gives me hope that things get easier. What's the biggest change you've noticed?
