I was talking to a mother of a school-mate of my youngest daughter. I was talking about where we used to live and when we moved to the town we're now living in, blah blah blah. I could not bring myself to tell her that I was divorced and somehow left her thinking that I was living here and my "husband" was living in another town.

I felt like a total idiot, but I just couldn't bring myself to say the words. I still feel like I'm somehow tainted because I'm divorced. Isn't that weird?

I was married for 10 plus years. I have 3 kids. Divorced for almost 2 years now and I still have a hard time with the admission.

Anyone else have a hard time with this? What do you do about it?


I'm not an expert, but I've been there. And I survived.
