This feeling felt while navigating the divorce process is incredibly hard to share. 

It’s real, raw, and the first time I truly felt the enormity of my past and present. I experienced guilt, shame, and embarrassment for failing in my marriage and letting our daughter down. 

I repressed sadness, hurt, and pain. I kept things to myself, lived in survival mode, and stayed achievement-focused until I couldn’t anymore. 

I knew I needed to do the work, process, and move through it. Therapy wasn’t enough; I had to work on myself deeply, for not me alone, but our daughter to break the cycle. 

I am a work in progress, through I am growing into  completely different person, one whom who holds self autonomy, boundries and empathy for self, it’s a daily process of radical acceptance. 

If you're experiencing separation or divorce, as a result of unprocessed childhood trauma, please know you're not alone. Be gentle with self and ask for support.

I Understand. ✨🪶
