My divorce finalized in July of last year and we’re coming up on a year separated. We share custody of 1 child, and we’re doing okay coparenting.

I go through cycles of feeling okay and then getting really down for a while. I got the house in the divorce, but now I’m going to sell it and walk away with a decent amount of cash. I’ve been working from home so it feels like I spend all my time in this tomb of a past life. It’ll be nice to move.

My job is good but complicated and stressful, and I’ve grown to really dislike it in some ways. My performance has suffered during this whole process, but I think there could be a good future there if I I get my head on straight and stick with it.

I feel stuck in a lot of ways, but with the chunk of cash from the house, I’ll be able to make some changes.

What kinds of things did you guys do to get yourself out of the post divorce funk?
