Calling Divorced Moms

[alona]

I know someone who is on the verge of divorce and has one child. She doesn't know what to do, how to start over. She has an MBA, work experience in customer service & teaching, and side hustles like direct sales and baking. She's also moving to a new state and starting work after being a stay-at-home mom for 4 years.


What advise can you give? Thank you very much. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

she can do this!!!

I am a divorced mother of one. It will be a transition, but things should be great for her.

For me, I would not be able to succeed without organization and time management. I think all single mom's, divorced or never married, can give advice on things like this.

Financally she will really have to adjust to building wealth and stability for herself alone vs. with someone. That takes some mental adjustment, but sometimes a visit to a financial advisor can help her plan for retirement, buying life insurance, etc. She really had to start being financially selfish.

There are other dynamics I am sure. Going through a divorce is hard. Having a therapist and reconnected with my friends and family really helped me during that time.

I wish your friend the best of luck.

It appears that financially she should be okay. As far as starting over, take the divorce as a learning experience and move on. The marriage didn't work out, but it's not the end of the world.

I would advise her to get herself together first, find a job, continue being a great mother! Also, when she gets herself together and is ready for a relationship, make sure the man accepts her and her child as a PACKAGE!

Good Luck and Everything will work out just fine!
