I had used both my maiden and last name since I had gotten married. Didn't change it when the divorce went through. After all I have had this name for 19 years at the time of the divorce and 22 years now. I was upset after the divorce, I finally started talking about it in real life so I think most people know now.
If people do ask, just let them know you went back to your maiden name. Let's them know you have gotten divorced without having to hash through it.
If I didn't have the kids I might have changed it, but they have his last name and so I have the connection with that.
Glad you are doing well. kat
