No, not that “D” word! (rolls eyes)
Get your mind out of the gutter.

D for Divorce (it needs caps for sure)
DIVORCE (and an exclamation point)
DIVORCE! (put that shit in bold type)
DIVORCE!

Yeah, I am in the divorce club. It’s a pretty shitty club – we don’t even get VIP access for free drinks!

Anyway, let me tell you from my experience what divorce feels like… It hits you like a car crash!

Let me explain this… imagine being thrown out of a moving vehicle which carries all your security and trust.

That seatbelt which was meant to secure you in safely, fails! The road you knew so well takes an unexpected turn. The navigation system you depended on loses connection!

Rerouting… (Shit! Seriously!) 


In a blink of an eye you have overturned and left with a big pile of mess, which is now unrecognisable. The shock of it all lasts for a few minutes a few years.

I was lucky enough to survive its impact, and now I have one hell of a survival story to tell for the rest of my life.

Which I am really reallyyyyyy so tired of telling… I’m telling you for the last time (another Seinfeld reference).

It was time to pick myself up and brush off the breakdown of an 18-year car ride (sounds easy enough, right)?.

Somehow I had to find reasoning to what had just happened, then get through all the stages whether I liked it or not, they were coming.

I turned to Dr Google and searched “What are the stages of divorce?”… 

Denial (But he loves me)
Anger (Write an angry letter post)
Bargaining (Too late for change)
Depression (Why is this happening to me?)
Acceptance (I guess this is what’s happening now)

These stages are commonly known as…
Everything happens for a reason.
