Ohhhh my friend have I been there HAVE I BEEN THERE and the answer of course is yup. Including broken electrical shit and glass on the floor (cat not dogs, easier to deter with my cursing) and the weepy ragey shitty understanding that I am alone in the mess, and while absolutely 100% thank fuck that I am, also, FUCK. But we sweep the shards, staunch the blood, while sometimes also doing the same for our kids in various ways, because there is no stopping there is only crying and pausing and going again. Thank god for friends on phones and in person, for fathers and men who don’t suck in our lives to step in when they can. But mostly thank god for us, for women, who like wolves find never stop. Thank you for the reminder about Women Who Run with the Wolves. Thumbing through that book both before and during my divorce helped me navigate the mess and recognize myself. Over and over again.
