    Weirdly accurate. Early 40’s and about to get a divorce and start over. Losing the house I’ve been in for 12 years and will likely see my children much less. I’m excited and petrified of whats to come.

      The journey is shit but the destination is worth it. Keep your kids in mind with everything you do and you’ll always be ahead.

          I was specifically referring to the divorce journey, with the destination being more or less settled after it’s finalized.

          Your interpretation definitely works though 😆

      Damn, hang in there. That’s a lot to go through, but i imagine you’re probably getting out of a bad situation by the sound of things. Try to keep focused on the good parts, and cherish the time with your children all the more. Hopefully you can get established somewhere soon and begin anew. The end of some things will be the beginnings of others. You might just be starting a hot new era 🙌

      It’s going to be 1 or 2 shit years, according to my divorce lawyer, and that was the case with me, but you’ll find yourself again. As another commenter said, try to keep contact with your kids as much as you can. Fight for them if you can.
