Content note: This post discusses divorce, financial abuse, emotional distress, and the challenges of single parenting.

For a long time, if someone asked me whether I had any regrets after my divorce, I would say no.

I’m also going to graduate school, working toward a future in mental health counseling. I’m trying to build a career, invest in my future, and create a life that looks different from the one I had before.

How to Know You Are Ready for a Serious Relationship After Divorce

September 23, 2026momonthegoinholytoledo

Someone 8 months out of a 14-year marriage feels a pull towards company. That pull is indistinguishable from the pull towards a partner, and acting on it early tends to reproduce the marriage that ended. Loneliness and readiness produce the same urge and require opposite responses. The signals that separate them are known, and none of them involve how much time has passed.

Co-parenting is supposed to give kids stability and love from both parents after a split. But for some families, it just turns into a never-ending fight. When disagreements go way beyond normal parenting differences and become a constant cycle of hostility, manipulation, and stress, you’ve landed in a high-conflict co-parenting situation.
