โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy and the first few months were the worst of my life so but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad, mediation was awful but better than court, for us so go slowly.โ
โReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are in 2023. It was the kids every other weekend and I couldn't see past it. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy, the first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad so lean on whoever offers, even if it's awkward, people want to help, go slowly.โ
โA note for the next person. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. I remember a lawyer's bill like it was yesterday. I'm volunteering here now. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.โ
