This is why you can’t shake being pissed off all the time. But here’s what you can do about it.
Hey, so does this ever happen to you? It may have been months since your divorce ended, and you thought you were doing okay.

Although feeling overwhelmed and confused during divorce is normal, avoiding these common boomer mistakes can save you unnecessary drama and stress so you can move on with your life. Missing the Big Picture. Divorce feels awful because as a society, none of us are taught to plan ahead for it. Funny, isn't it?

Is rejection actually a gift? Yes!
None of us are immune to rejection. It doesn’t matter where you are in life, and whether it’s ending a marriage or breaking up with a partner.
