Hey, going through a divorce, wouldn’t have been my first choice, lot of financial and childrearing stressors, STBX claims that it’s a coincidence her scumbag ex crawled out of the woodwork about a year ago but I have confirmation that isn’t true.

In any case, I am going to spend the next few years rebuilding a life for myself and my kids. I am doing therapy, a have a good network of friends, I exercise, I recently joined a congregation which I am excited about, I have hobbies and may pursue more when I have time, I’ve been friends with Bill since before the relationship started. But I could use some guidance. Anyone have good recommendations for books they found helpful in working on themselves? I think there is a lot of claptrap out there (Peterson is my idea of claptrap, as a baseline), but has anyone found anything to be really helpful, either specific to men in/after divorce or general self-improvement.
