How Did You Detach from Your Ex? (Part I)

(Answering Questions from Women on Reframing, Gaining Closure, and Supernatural Grace)

One of the strange things about sharing and writing about your life-altering divorce is that other women in excruciating situations reach out to share their stories or ask you questions. I often reply that I am making things up as I go along and cannot advise anyone but am happy to pray for them. I got a request this week, though, on something that I have a few things to say about and that I hope could help someone else: How do you detach from someone your life has been so intertwined with for so many years?

It’s a good question: how does one detach? I can only share what my experience has been and what has helped me through it, but I hope it can help others, too.

(Because this is a sensitive subject and I want to protect my children’s privacy most of my content about my marriage/divorce is for paid subscribers so that it’s not publicly available to the whole internet. Thank you for understanding!)
