Join me tonight, Wednesday, June 11th at 7 pm ET, on my show Real America. We'll be live discussing divorce and all the things that come with it. I’ll be speaking with mental health professional Jeremiah Stokes and then I want to hear from YOU.
About a year ago I wrote a piece for Spectator called “Divorce never ends” and it went viral. Needless to say, folks had a lot of feelings about it. It trended for two days on X and I received emails and direct messages and even phone calls.
A lot of people (GenX) were quite triggered last week when “mom and dad” (Elon and Trump) broke up and it got me thinking about divorce again. I was 12 years old when my parents split up and my husband was 10 when his parents got divorced. As a kid, when my parents split up, it sucked. There was no getting around it. I just had to kind of live through it, powerless, and at the mercy of this situation that I had no control over or say in. What I didn’t realize is that divorce never ends.
Three decades later, I'm still managing the fallout of my parents' divorce. Not in an emotional way, but in a practical way: juggling FaceTime calls, visits, and holidays among multiple sets of divorced grandparents. It reminds me of all the bouncing around I did as a kid and although I have a lot more agency now than I did then— it’s still complicated.
Are you divorced? How did you manage it? What do you wish you'd known? How would you navigate your divorce differently if you had to do it all over again?
Are you a product of divorce? What advice would you give your younger self about coping?
I want to hear from you, America. As always, we need your tips and your tricks and your wisdom.
