Divorce advice for everyone out there. Here are 49 totally crazy things you will do during your divorce.
I’m sorry to tell you but even the sanest of the sane will relate. Here are some crazy ass, unstable, off the wall things you will do in divorce. Here we go:
Crying in the carpool line at school.
Learning to say “me” in conversation instead of “we”.
Wine, wine, and a little more wine. (Did I mention you will drink wine alone?)
Sitting in your car in your own driveway to make private phone calls.
Wondering if you will ever date.
Deciding that you’ll end up being that lonely old lady who feeds the pigeons by the freeway off ramp.
Eating a diet of whatever you buy at the grocery store to pack in your child’s lunch.
Having nothing to then put in your child’s lunchbox because you couldn’t sleep and ate it all at 3am.
Moving out.
Learning how much stuff, how many belongings, you absolutely don’t need.
Packing all your worldly belongings into big green Hefty garbage bags. (I even made a video about the JOY of moving out after divorce.
Wanting to light a match and set fire to all your belonging instead of moving them one more time.
Moving on.
Praying (that sounds more like crying and pleading).
Actually forgetting to eat. (That’s never happened before)
Crying even more. This time during the Super Bowl at those damned Budweiser Clydesdale horse commercials.
Sleeping in your clothes because you are too exhausted to get undressed.
Learning what it means to get served (and not in a restaurant).
Driving around for hours because you are just too sad to go home.
Crying during the previews at the movie theater (the dancing popcorn and singing soda reminding you to get snacks at the concession stand suddenly seem sad.)
