One day I'll sit down and write out my story, most of it is along the same lines as everything you've all seen here. However, there are a few nuggets that in hindsight are pretty darn funny and a few other pieces that might help others. For now though, I just have to laugh.

My ex has become a walking cliche. She is late 40s and since the separation and subsequent divorce, she has checked nearly every box of the female midlife crisis attention seeking behavior. Nose piercing? Check! Tattoos all over her arms? Check! Dyed her hair red and cut it into a weird style? Check! Get on TikTok and suddenly "realize" She is neurodivergent and has a new way to blame all of her issues? Check! Moved directly in with her boyfriend because she has nowhere to live? Check!

It's almost like she went to chat GPT and said "My husband divorced me, I'm late '40s, what should I do?"

Meanwhile, I'm over here with custody of the kids. Have literally lost a hundred pounds since the separation, killing it at work, and truly living my best life.

Guys, about a year ago I was at a very low point and did not know how I was going to get through all this. It's amazing what you can do when you put yourself and your kids first. Hang in there and don't give up!
