You are 7 years post-divorce, yet you find yourself in bed on Thanksgiving Day in tears, hiding from the family, drowning in wine and not wanting to be a part. The holidays reminds you of the previous year, the year that was too difficult to bear. Or you are 4 years down the line post separation, and your child is going through a bout of depression and it stems from their Dad leaving. Or you are just one week post divorce, you are happy and having a great day, but then you look at your phone and your ex sends you a text saying he hates you. Whatever it is that you are dealing with, at whatever time, there is always some wreckage to be dealing with! It might be big, it might be small, it can come and go.
