I’ve been divorced for almost 3 months now. My ex husband filed for divorce just over a year ago. When he filed for divorce I felt as though he was taking everything from me.

Years of gaslighting abuse wrecked my mental and emotional health. Carrying two children took a toll on my body. Financially, I used to have several streams of income, however, since having children I became a stay-at-home mom while he advanced in his career.

Part of me thought no man would want a single mom with 2 very young kids. Fortunately, just a couple months post divorce that doesn’t seem to be the case.

I’m starting to feel more and more like myself, a better version of my old self. I know I have a long way to go, but I’m so grateful I was given the strength to see the divorce through.
