Divorce is often seen as the end of a chapter, but it can also mark the beginning of a new, empowered phase of life. A new beginning! A divorce party offers a unique and liberating way to celebrate this transition.  Whether it’s a casual gathering, an elegant dinner, or a themed event, a divorce party is a celebration that marks the legal end of a marriage. Unlike traditional weddings, which focus on the union, a divorce party is about embracing a fresh start and celebrating the individual’s journey forward.

Far from focusing on the negativity of a divorce, these parties emphasize personal growth, strength, and resilience. You may even want to incorporate elements that symbolize empowerment and new beginnings, such as releasing balloons, writing notes to be burned in a ceremonial fire, or choosing a suitable playlist.

When My Daughter Is Away With Her Dad

When my daughter was two and a half, my ex suggested that he take her on a holiday for six days next time he was in Sydney. I liked the idea of her having some time away with her dad.

He had also been in and out of her life a lot up until that point. At one stage he was out of the picture for over seven months. I suggested a shorter trip first and on his next visit, if she coped OK, they could go for six days.Continue Reading →
