ABOUT
Me...Marie G
After 14 years of marriage, and being just this side of 51 years old, I came upon a moment when I thought "I don't have to continue to feel this way. I can make a choice to not continue with this." The 14 years were not horrible, but the theme of not feeling loved as I needed to, not feeling connected as I wanted to, sprinkled with occasional shame and insults created a less-than-happy union for me. With two kids (ages 9 and 11), a comfortable home in an expensive neighbourhood (and expensive city), and an overall decent guy as a husband, deciding to upheave our family unit was not easy.
In this blog, you'll find excerpts from my journals, my constant and necessary partners on this journey. Where I found support (apart from writing) and where I found the strength to continue along my path was from other women: The women in my life, and the women in the virtual divorce community. The honest, raw feelings and situations that these strong, and sometimes broken, women put out there touched me, emboldened me, and pulled me forward.
Oh, and Glennon. Glennon Doyle. I love her.
Perhaps some of my writings may resonate with others. Perhaps they'll help others not feel so alone. Perhaps they'll all be dismissed as bullshit. In any event, I'm putting it all out there.
Thank you for dropping by.
