What to Call An Ex: Navigating Titles in Parenting [And Why]
Choosing what to call an ex after divorce seems small until you realize how much identity, history, and dignity are wrapped up in a single word.
Learning to Accept the "D" Word
I accepted that my marriage was over long before I could bring myself to say the word divorce.
Navigating Valentine's Day Post-Divorce
Valentine’s Day isn’t hard because it’s about people; it’s hard because it’s about one person, and suddenly, they’re gone.
Second Chances
Sometimes what looks like a second chance is really just confirmation of why the first chapter had to end.
What About Gifts?
After divorce, gifts take on new meaning. Some hold memories too painful to touch, others are too beautiful to give up, and all of them raise the question: what do we do with love that once was?
Packing My Ex’s Things
Packing his things wasn’t about anger or spite. It was the moment my heart finally accepted what my mind already knew: it was over.
Cleaning Social Media
Deleting my marriage from social media wasn’t about erasing the past. It was about creating space for the life I was stepping into.
The Relief
I wasn’t happy my marriage ended. But I was relieved to no longer carry the stress, conflict, and emotional weight that came with it.

The movie captures the heart of People We Meet on Vacation, but without the slow burn that made the book’s ending feel earned, it trades depth for speed.
