Which is Harder to Climb, Mt. Kilimanjaro or Mt. Happiness?

6/1/2019

When you get divorced, your friends always tell you you will be fine! Sometimes, when we all get together to enjoy a glass of wine, I do feel like I am crawling my way back up to Mt. Happiness to join them. Mt. Kilimanjaro or Mt. Happiness which is harder to climb? National Geographic might be surprised at my answer! .-Cindy F.

Spring into New Beginnings

5/1/2019

OMG, this is exactly how I felt for the first few months of my divorce. I don't think it is the comfort of the bed, it's just how exhausting it all can be. So glad Spring is here! Starting my divorce during the cold near year was not the best of choices! -Angela

Putting the Shakespeare Insult Kit to Use!

4/1/2019

My soon to be ex husband received his masters degree in literature. So after reading all the love notes he sent his girlfriends, I found this cartoon really cathartic. Who knew Shakespeare had such great insults! -Linda

I'd Rather be the Judge

3/27/2019

The craziest thing about divorce has to be the equitable distribution hearing spending hours taking about used furniture. Mine lasted 2 days and it sure would have been more fun to sit on top of this scale and play the judge! - Melissa B.

Becoming Fearless

2/25/2019

In honor of the Oscars this week and Lady Gaga…
When my divorce started last year the 7 Dwarefettes of Divorce showed up immediately (Mopey, Frazzled, Rosey, Crabby, Ragey, Doc and Lopey). I felt like these ducks; just trying to get away. Lady Gag’s quote is right, fear does hold us back. Well if shooting fear in the face like her quote on this cartoon helped her win an Oscar count me in!

Refuse to Play Operation Any Longer!

1/27/2019

Operation was my favorite game as a kid. Taking my wedding ring off did feel like my whole body got zapped! It truly was a Divorcectomy for me. When my divorce was finalized; the zapping stopped. I am sticking to card games from now on!

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

12/28/2018

I remember when my ex husband and I broke up. He was constantly posting on Facebook his “happy” photos out with his girlfriend. I would quit looking at it and then a friend would say OMG did you see that recent post and then like a junkie I would start again. I guess it’s a process since a few months later I just stopped cold turkey and have never looked back. So much happier now!

Arrived at the Top Floor

11/27/2018

It's was so weird for me to date after being married for fifteen years. It does feel like you are on the bottom floor when you first have to start answering that you are separated when people ask if you are married. I did panic a little and it was so awkward. After awhile, you find your own words to answer the married question and then it's easy. I'm finally divorced and have arrived at the top floor! -Linda S.

No Longer in Pieces

10/11/2018

"CRACKING UP" is such a great title. My divorce in Atlanta lasted over two years with endless child support issues. I did feel like this cartoon, in pieces swallowed up in a blur. But we all eventually get to the finish line. So, I pulled myself out, put myself back together and focused on having a better life. Now I keep my unbreakable reminder on my kitchen table. -Janie B

Divorce Fairy To Fun Fairy

9/5/2018

I drew the Marriage Fairy with happy colors because that is what I felt like on the day I got married, when yes I did want to know EVERYTHING about him.

So why the Halloween Colors in my second picture? When I was a small child Halloween was scary, weird and so out of balance with your everyday life. That’s what was like when the Divorce Fairy showed up at my house. Scary, weird and out of balance except no one wears a costume except the judges! And divorce lasts WAYYYYY WAYYY longer than Halloween.

This Halloween, I am going as the “Fun Fairy” to end this Trilogy of Fairies on a happy note!
