Hello, my name is Karri Mullen. I went through a divorce when my son was 9 years old. I initiated the divorce because my partner had serious issues that he was unwilling or unable to change. I was fortunate that I had a good job and a supportive family. However, my social life was seriously effected – I lost many friends and many of the friends that I kept invited me to “couple events” which was difficult for me. I felt rage and sorrow about my personal situation. My son was confused and, at times, angry. I had to do tasks that were unfamiliar and difficult for me. Despite my former partner’s personal issues, there were still aspects of him that I missed; I was lonely and overwhelmed.
I looked around, but I could not find the resources that I needed, to deal with what was happening to my life. I promised myself that when I made the journey to “beyond”, I would make the necessary resources available to other women that were having a similar experience.
I have since gotten beyond my separation and divorce to a positive, healthful place (and my son is an emotionally healthy and happy child). I kept my promise and created this resource.
Enjoy all the benefits that this website can offer! I wish you all the very best on your Journey forward in Living Divorced!
