Let's Talk..... Real Life Divorce Stories (Helen)

Leaving a relationship you know isn't working isn't always as simple as deciding you've had enough. In this episode of Let's Talk Divorce, I'm joined by Helen, who shares her real-life divorce story and speaks openly about the reality of leaving a toxic relationship with someone she still loved. Helen talks about the rollercoaster of good days and bad days, and why it took her so long to finally make the decision to leave. She shares what it was like setting up a new home with her four children, the difficulties that followed with her ex, and how they have gradually found a more effective way to co-parent. We also talk about where Helen is now, what she's learned from everything she went through and how the experience has shaped the person she is today. In this episode: • Loving someone while knowing the relationship isn't healthy • The good days and bad days that can make leaving so difficult • Why making the decision to leave can take much longer than people realise • Starting again and creating a new home with four children • Dealing with the difficulties that can continue after separation • The reality of navigating a difficult relationship with an ex • How Helen and her ex have begun to co-parent more effectively • What Helen has learned about herself through divorce • How her experience has shaped the life she has today • Looking back on a difficult relationship from the other side If you're questioning your own relationship, trying to find the courage to leave, dealing with a difficult separation or wondering whether co-parenting with your ex will ever get easier, Helen's story is an honest reminder that these situations are rarely straightforward.
