I am a happily divorced mother of three daughters. For years I played the role of happy suburban wife, putting everyone’s needs before mine. Gave up my career to build his business, then the business to raise my children. I felt trapped and alone, married to a stranger who couldn’t be bothered to show up for a family meal.

I don’t have that life anymore. I now have a job I love, my girls are thriving, I awake each day with a sense of great possibility. So much so that remarriage is not an option for me right now. I’ve met lots of nice men since my divorce and found I prefer the role of girlfriend to second wife. Much more fun.
