Wow. It seems that my last post on detaching after many, many years in a relationship really resonated. I received lots of emails from women also going through challenging seasons in response.

In answering the question how did you detach from an ex you’ve been entangled with for so long? I focused last week on the shift away from the way you previously saw your partner and a shift into reality. But I wanted to share more about what has helped me beyond the reframing of the past. I’d like to discuss regaining identity and learning to attach to the reality of who you really are after your light had grown dim for so long.

(And 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!)
