42. divorced last year. kids are teenagers so they know, mostly supportive, still weird sometimes.
dating feels like learning a language i should've started in college. friendships in queer spaces feel easier than romance which is… fine? confusing?
not looking for a pep talk exactly. just other people who left a whole life and are assembling a new one.

not divorced but left a long relationship with a man. the "assembling" metaphor is exactly it. some days i feel proud. some days i feel late.

friendships first was how i survived the first two years. romance came later and honestly that order saved me from rebound disasters.

you're not late. you were living under different information. rebuilding is work but it's yours now.
Elena
thank you. "living under different information" is going to stick with me

same boat age-wise. teenagers knowing before your parents is a special kind of timeline. you're doing fine.
