Weirdly accurate. Early 40's and about to get a divorce and start over. Losing the house I've been in for 12 years and will likely see my children much less. I'm excited and petrified of whats to come.

I got divorced 10 years ago and since I decided to be child free I was able to travel a lot. Now I bought a new house and am just vibbing to be an old lady lol

Late 30's divorce here about 5 years ago.. It takes a while to start over all the life planning but once it gets rolling, things are so much better. That emotional bullshit you fight every day lifts off your shoulders and you can be more focused on the important stuff.

You won't notice it for a while. Keep going.

The journey is shit but the destination is worth it. Keep your kids in mind with everything you do and you'll always be ahead.

Sorry but, isn't the destination... Death? If so, I agree completely ❤️

[–] paranoid@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

I was specifically referring to the divorce journey, with the destination being more or less settled after it's finalized.

Your interpretation definitely works though 😆

divorce is fine. the kids'll still see ya plenty enough if you want to.

now you get to be yourself again, and a perfectly attentive parent when with the kids, cause the other time is spent doing shit you wanna do!

Damn, hang in there. That's a lot to go through, but i imagine you're probably getting out of a bad situation by the sound of things. Try to keep focused on the good parts, and cherish the time with your children all the more. Hopefully you can get established somewhere soon and begin anew. The end of some things will be the beginnings of others. You might just be starting a hot new era 🙌

It's going to be 1 or 2 shit years, according to my divorce lawyer, and that was the case with me, but you'll find yourself again. As another commenter said, try to keep contact with your kids as much as you can. Fight for them if you can.
