Jenny

"Socially we treat divorce like uttering its name will bring it on happy families like the bad witch in Sleeping Beauty."

Olivia

"So, if divorce happens, and you're wondering why you feel like ten different women before breakfast, we want to tell you this gently: that may be the most normal thing in the world."

We are so proud of it and also slightly unhinged from writing it, which feels correct.  Every week we’re dropping in to tell you how it’s going. The important stuff, obviously.

That’s it. That’s the update. We’re doing it. Divorce Happens is happening.
