This post was written three years on from my divorce – in 2015. It’s interesting to look back on it and there’s probably a few points I should add. I still hadn’t openly spoken about the abuse I had gone through therefore when I write about forgiveness, I am talking here about the other events […]
Divorce Posts from Old Blog
Hush
I’m trying to recall what prompted this post, written a year and a half after my divorce. Generally the months leading upto November when my breakup took place were never the best and this one was written in September. From memory, these were the months when I would be more upset and wanting to talk […]
Forgive and Forget
This post was written in 2015, as I approached the one year mark of my official divorce. The problem is that once you deal with one issue concerning your breakup, it feel like another issue pops up. For me, this post related to the hurt I felt at those around me. Perhaps now I’m able […]
I Haven’t Changed
Post written in January 2015, around eight months after my legal divorce had become finalised. I haven’t changed. That’s a lie. Whenever people come out of some major life changing event and claim to be the same person. It’s quite simply a lie. It’s not possible to remain the same. Is it so shameful […]
A Man’s World
My attempts to put these posts in chronological order has failed a little as I forgot to include this one, written in October 2013. To an extent I still maintain this to be true – you only have to look at recent controversies that have taken place….can you name some? This journey which has unfolded […]
That Time of Year Again
I’ve jumped forward a little and this post was written in October 2014. It was common for me in the first few years to end up on a bit of a downer in the leadup to November. So generally my posts from then don’t tend to be the most uplifting. But I think that’s quite […]
Post Karmatic Stress
This post was written as I approached the one year mark of my separation in November 2013. Probably the first real moment of anger laced with feelings of conflict due to the importance my faith places on forgiveness. Whilst fogiveness took a while (quite a while) – don’t feel guilty for any of the […]
Too Soon or Too Scared?
This piece was written in the midst of my divorce in June 2013. Seven months separated at this time and being encouraged to meet men again. Looking back, it wasn’t sensible as I was still very much hurting and trying to heal from events that had taken place. I maintain that six months post breakup […]
A Very Lonely Type of Pain
This piece was written in May 2013 and probably encapsulates the frustrations at not being able to “just get over it”. More than anything, I wanted a magic wand to take the pain away – little did I realise six months is really when the emotional kicker starts to happen. What I also didn’t realise […]
Hints and Tips
This post comes from my first blog and was written in March 2013. Part of me loves reading back to that time as I realise how far I’ve come in my own emotional journey (and in writing as well, I do eventually discover paragraphs!). I’ve opted to share these, some lows and some semi-highs, in […]
