Hi everyone, a few weeks ago I was moving furniture around and remembered that I had stored many of my divorce self help books in a trunk I was using as a coffee table. Ya, I’m a little bohemian. When I bought these books on Amazon I was hungry for help with my situation. Books are like therapy, right?
Co-parenting, money management, alienation and did I mention co-parenting? Those were just a few of the areas I needed help with. They’re all in good
This post was updated October, 2023. There seems to be a EX Narcissist epidemic. The most common statements I hear over social media and blogging are “My Ex is a Narcissist.” OR “I was married to a Narcissist.”
Funny, you just don’t hear I was married to a complete A**hole anymore. Why? Because the A**hole has been replaced by the Narcissist it seems.
Narcissism is a personality disorder (NPD) which technically, can only be diagnosed by a psychiatrist. But with the power of the internet we can all identify signs and symptoms of Narcissism at our fingertips. We already know what an a**hole is, right? So, let’s find out what a Narc is…we’re curious. We begin reading and watching youtube videos on the subject and voila, we’re convinced our Ex really is a Narcissist and maybe he IS.
I get some pretty interesting questions coming in from readers and site visitors. I thought why not share them on the blog once a month? Everyone can benefit from a little extra information and I’m sure you will relate to selected questions. Please note, I do not give legal advice nor do I disclose the person’s real name. So, welcome to Dear Lisa-Reader Question of the Month;

I’m over at Divorced Moms today talking about anger. I’m calling it the ‘New Black’. Why? For so long women have been raised to be the nice one. The nurturer. That’s all good except when things go terribly wrong. What happens in life when events, situations or people trigger anger? Well, they didn’t teach us that did they? They thought
Brokeback Mountain-the film was one of the first to chronicle gay married men
It is estimated that millions of marriages end in divorce when one spouse comes out and admits their true sexual orientation. Millions!
I am fascinated by this scenario and always wonder what were the signs? Did she or he have a clue? When your spouse admits they’re gay after decades of marriage, it must be absolutely devastating for the
Do you ever have one of those days, you wish you could go straight back to bed? Just call it a day when it’s barely begun? I sure have. I’ve had many a dark day during my divorce.
One of the biggest things that helped me cope was spending a little time everyday doing something I loved. Exercise has always been a big part of my life and it sure saved me during the stressful times. I felt

I guess it’s pick on lawyers day. This is important, though and something I’ve experienced. It made me wonder at the effects of lawyers PREACHING self help when they should be practicing law…
There’s a reason why Lawyers should stick to their expertise and provide legal advice and not personal advice. I know a lawyer who attended a self help weekend retreat. The premise of these retreats is for people to LET GO. They tell their story and then claim they can let them go, like a helium filled balloon—floating away never to be seen again.

Are you inked? If not, are you thinking about getting a tattoo? Are these thoughts connected to an event in your life such as divorce, marriage, death, love? It’s human nature to want to mark an event with a celebration or a ceremony and sometimes with INK.
I’m over at DivorcedMoms venting about one of my pet peeves as a divorced woman. If you don’t like it when I complain, then you might want to take a look at my very optimistic Spring Kind of Mood. That post certainly shows my optimistic side :). But if like me you’ve gone through (or going) a divorce and have experienced smug married people making judgmental comments about us Divorcees, then you won’t want to miss this one.
I’m working on a series of videos with ‘bite sized’ tips. All of the videos will cover topics related to divorce. I wanted to share one of them here because it’s a very important topic. Telling your kids…making that dreaded announcement. You can guess that we’re not going to say “Honey, your Dad and I have decided to concsiously uncouple.” No. Not happening.
