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.

No regrets.

I survived. I kept my house. I kept my kids. I figured out how to pay the bills, work multiple jobs, and keep a household running while raising three children.

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. All while parenting three children who are no longer little kids, but teenagers and young adults who are still learning how to navigate the world.

But recently, I’ve realized there is one thing I deeply regret.

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.

When your child splits their time between two homes, even an ordinary weekly routine can feel unfamiliar at first. Different bedrooms, schedules, and household rules can leave children feeling unsettled, particularly in the early stages of separation or divorce.
