It’s not easy to reach out for help, especially when divorce can feel isolating and lonely. Divorce is an emotional roller coaster, and you can’t know what’s ahead of you. Anonymously, I share the collective divorce experience of strangers to help someone else in theirs. Some stories you will relate to now, and others you will need in the future when you can’t make sense of it all.Human behaviour is famously predictably unpredictable. Which is why I interview professionals to share valuable insights and resources relevant to you no matter where you are based in the world. I am here to share and support you through the unknown through the experience of others.

Who am I?

I am a child of divorce, a high-conflict divorce in the 1970s, where I witnessed emotions taking over rational. I have experienced first hand how divorce impacts everything and how as a child of divorce I was judged harshly by the adults in my life. I too am divorced, and although mine wasn’t high conflict in court, it became more complex as the dynamics changed. The upside to growing up in conflict is my ability to help people in theirs. I have been entrusted with friends legal documents and forms, along with strangers sharing their deepest darkest secrets. Although my parents divorced over forty years ago, every so often something pops up that upsets me. I would like to think I am too old for this, but I am not. What may surprise you is that I believe in marriage, even though I was raised in the aftermath of divorce.

Why Angry Ex Wife?

I know, it invokes a lot of emotional responses, and that’s fine with me. I probably should be angry, but I am not. I don’t just write about women, or for women. I write for men, lovers, friends, family and adult children of divorce. You are all important to me. As my child says, ‘no man gets left behind. Angry Ex Wife came about whilst dating a man whose ex wife to be decided to take him to court. He felt ambushed, and I questioned why she was so angry. (She had good reason) It was going to cost them everything and leave them both without money to live. It was Covid lockdown, and I was playing around with domains and found Angry Ex Wife. Although it took me a few years to write, I was constantly meeting people complaining about their ex spouse, and I felt the rules of divorce were getting nastier and wanted to know why. As an avid reader of human behaviour, I had never read about who we are when we divorce. I also noticed patterns of advice being shared and the things they wish they had known.

A few years in, and I am still learning, still researching. Should you want to share your story with me, you remain anonymous and I never write defining details that can identify you. You never know, your story can help someone dramatically change theirs, and believe it or not, married people have messaged to me to say thank you for waking them up to be better spouses.
