Dating, Custody, and Peace: My Life After Leaving My Marriage

And why I am the happiest I have ever been 🥳

I never thought I'd say this, but divorce was the beginning of the best chapter of my life 🤭.

Last month when I got personal and shared why I filed for divorce, most of the responses were positive and supportive. But as is always the case, there were a few that expressed their opinion that we should have stayed together no matter what, because of the kids. I wholeheartedly disagree, obviously. I believe that children see and feel when something isn’t right at home, which in turn compromises how safe they feel. I believe that as long as there is proper nurturing and love, children of divorce can come out happier, stronger, more resilient, and have greater respect for their parents for not staying together for them.

It’s a good thing that I never listened to outside opinions, because this divorce actually made space for more love, more presence, and more calm in all of our lives than we ever imagined.

So in today’s post, I am going to let you in to what my life looks like post-divorce—our schedule, how it’s working, feelings that have come up along the way, and of course, dating 😏
