They had been together for 13 years… but ten months after their son was born, he left her for another woman.
How do you rebuild your life after that?
Katherine Lee, part of the Working Woman crew and formerly an editor at Parenting Magazine, had to figure out how to answer that very question. Read her thoughts as presented by Melissa Chapman over on Single Minded Women:
“I had spent the last 12 years of my life with this person; we were the inseparable couple that did everything together,” says Katherine. “Our weekends revolved around one another and now all of a sudden I was facing this new life alone.”
Katherine had to reprioritize her energies on caring for herself and her son. She had to accept her living in a completely different economic bracket, losing most of the married friends she’d shared with her ex and simply learning how to live on her own.
