Personal Story

These are real stories from real people. This includes husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, and children, step parents, friends and colleagues. Divorce touches everyone in ways we can't imagine. These stories are raw, anonymous and I share without judgment.

Children of Divorce

This was my Christmas after they divorced.

Christmas marketing reminding me that my life was already a failure, that I was an outcast from societal norms. One celebrated the idea of Christmas and the other thought it was nonsense.

Abuse & High Conflict

He is not the man I married.

No longer telling her she hadn't achieved anything in her life, he started to assure her she was a crap mother. He began to undermine every single decision she made.

This is my future, try me.

We did attempt therapy, and when I raised the topic of his affairs he laughed and assured the therapist he had left no evidence.

I was ambitious, my wife didn't want me to be.

Abuse can catch you by surprise.

Leaving an abusive relationship takes careful planning, logistics, and support. Without that support and protection, the abused often return, or worse.

Divorce shattered my youth.

The psychologist had shared my private sessions with Mum, who weaponised my private struggles to paint Dad as an abuser!

The Timing was Right until it wasn't.

My children have suffered and continue to suffer and it hurts me that I can't shield them from this madness. Each one has reacted differently and at different times

A man losing all his money gambling

The cost of gambling is always more than money.

‘I am a gambler, I have an addiction, I have hurt the people I love, I have stolen and I have paid for all of it financially and today I am still paying emotionally for my actions. Vanessa had a right to be hurt and angry, but the kids did not deserve the pain and anger she pushed upon them.’

We were crazy in love for 7 years, and then we weren't.

Their relationship was true romance.

Shock as she realises her husband has used their money

He lied about the money he stole from our children.

He lied about money, he lied about what he ate for lunch. A love story ruined by financial infidelity

Financial Infidelity

Adultery was the easy route out.

Well, it was great until my brother-in-law followed me and saw us going for a run together. My wife confronted me when I returned, and I lied. She showed me the photos and threw me out

Abuse & High Conflict

Interview me! I am the angry ex-wife.

Dani is a vibrant powerhouse of a woman. She has a very honest and direct way about her and I couldn’t imagine her story would be so awful, especially as they never had a child together.
