The Day I Quit Parenting
I have been solo-parenting for four years now. I know many people who have wonderful co-parenting relationships with their former spouses, but that has simply not been my experience.

Wanted: The Perfect Man

My Scarlet Letter
My name is Dena, and I am divorced. There. I said it. I have worn the scarlet letter “D” around my neck for four years now. It was not a word that I ever wanted—or expected—to define who I am. As a matter of fact, it’s the last title I ever expected to be associated…
