Why do I feel Lonely after my Divorce
Loneliness is a common and often daunting experience for many going through divorce. Society's support can be lacking, and sharing these feelings with friends and family may not always provide the understanding we hope for. I recall trying to talk to my family about my emotions during this time; they cared, but their lives continued unchanged. Even though I had sought relief from an abusive marriage and felt a sense of liberation, there were still moments when I felt profoundly alone. As a grief specialist, I understand the complex emotions of grieving the loss of a partner. Feeling relief and rebuilding one's life can be an isolating journey.
Divorce Dilemma: Trapped Together by High Housing Costs
When a couple is going through what is considered the second most stressful event in their lives, they may find themselves in the unexpected predicament of sharing a home. This is a hard and challenging situation, and for anyone who has experienced divorce, it's clear that this is far from the ideal choice.
In the past, the idea of a divorced couple living together for an extended period seemed uncommon, almost unheard of. However, as we grapple with high inflation and economic downturns, this arrangement is becoming increasingly prevalent. Couples co-parent, come and go as they please, or one parent may find themselves relegated to living in the basement. It's a new reality born out of financial necessity, and it's reshaping the way we think about post-divorce living arrangements.
