With the Holidays approaching being newly divorced can be a great challenge.
Is there anyone thing that is getting in your way of enjoying the Holiday Season?
If so post your challenge here so we can support you as I am sure someone in the group has experienced the same and can give you some suggestions or a new perspective.
Share away ladies!

I am currently married to my 2nd husband however during our 15 yr marriage we also had a 3 yr separation. During both my divorce and separation I found it really helpful to be surrounded by family and friends. During my divorce my biggest concern was gifts for my children for the holidays. Wouldn’t you know that I mentioned that one time to a friend and on Christmas eve a group brought over gifts galore for my daughters then 2 & 4.
During my separation my biggest concerns were financial. I mentioned it to my sister who then brought my mom over. They went thru all my bills and organized them and made calls if necessary.
The point is if you open up just to 1 person about your biggest concern someone will be there to help.
I am in sales, getting back to my customers and generating new business at this time may be rough. Mostly, I think I enjoy this site too much and become out of reality check and touch.

I was not married, however ended a long term relationship 11.5 months ago.
Challenge for me~ starting all over again with next to nothing. Financial recovery from that relationship is a challenge.
(Then layoff happened end of September.
Recovering from both of those things has me feeling very negative & low energy today. Scary. In the red.)
What is really hindering me fully enjoying the holidays? I lost my house in CA to foreclosure while starting a family owned business in MT. I am recently divorced after 31 years. I have a medical retirement check that isn’t even enough to rent a place of my own so I live at my place of business. My sons and parents have offered to let me stay with them, but they have their own family and I am finally able to declare my independence instead of making sure someone elses life is good. My X wasn’t business minded and the business was not doing as it should, therefore I (along with my two sons) are striving to turn it around and make it successful. I am afraid daily of getting of the bank trying to take the business. I spend most of my time doing everything possible I can think of to keep the doors open until I can get this place up like it should be. I am afraid of failing my son and disappointing them. I would like to talk with others business women that have turned around a business so that I know it can be done. I am reading lots of books, doing lots of research and have a turn around consultant, but don’t like depending on someone else. I am living so far in the red it is almost purple!! I am thinking positive and wake up every day knowing I’ll be fine.
I’m not a business expert but I certainly was able to create a multi million dollar biz at my former company. i would be willing to share ideas just message me any specifics.
On a positive note tho Congratulations on holding your biz together and declaring independence. I’m sure you will never be a disappointment to your kids but parents usually think that way.
Focus on wht you CAN do right now vs what you CAN‘T do right now. Smile thru it all and just keep on keeping on!
I guess my biggest challenge is coming up with the remainder of my son’s college tuition, which thank God is only $2500.00. I still feel a struggle because my monthly take home pay is a little short of that, which of course is depleted by paying bills.
I will survive and we will stay in college!

“I can make it happen” It is whatever it is at the moment.
My recent challenge is to stay positive, upbeat, happy when my partner is depressed.

I have several challenges. I’m getting laid off at the end of the month. Upside is I have another job lined up, downside is it’s $3 less an hour. Another huge challenge I’m going through a divorce right now, my soon-to-be ex is currently in jail for abuse against me and that means the house he’s living in (and I also own) will go into foreclosure before everything is final. I’m having enough trouble dealing with the court system because of him, paying my own mortgage and bills, working and going to school. Everyone tells me I’m strong and this too shall pass. That is all true, but right now I go into a tailspin every time I think about all this stuff.
