My Favorite HAPPILY EVER AFTER DIVORCE ® Story

I was married when I was 22 and had my son at 25. Things were great for a while, but then they were not. I grew up in a divorced household and I saw the obstacles my mother faced, so I was determined I was going to stay married. I was not going to end up with a failed marriage. Fast forward a bit, and the one thing I said I would never accept happened. I called my mother and told her “that’s it. I’m getting divorced.” The next day, which happened to be my 35th birthday, I drafted my own divorce papers. Even though I had navigated people through the process for years, I felt like I was aboard a sinking ship. However, as soon as the process was completed, I felt like a new person. I was free. I was happy again. More importantly, my son was happy. The happiest I had seen him in quite some time. Now, almost 4 years later, I am living my Happily Ever After Divorce. I have an amazing man in my life. I am closer to my family, and I learned that being happy after a divorce can happen. I’m living it each and every day.
