News that is Hard to Share
Ok. Here’s the news, since so many folks have expressed curiosity and concern recently. I am separating from my partner of 8.5 years. Yes the one that I just married last July.
This has been a really tough couple of years, full of emotional distress which had to manifest in debilitating physical health issues before I was willing to admit that I shouldn’t stay in the relationship. I am in a place of healing now and have lots of excellent support!
I have always found healing as well as a sense of purpose and meaning through sharing about my own struggles. But this felt too dark, too raw, too confusing to process out in public. I was worried about furrowing the brows of all who care about me, about upsetting Kyle who is a very private person, about losing students who thought, “Why would I want to work with someone who can’t even keep her own marriage together?”
But I know that shame, obfuscation and denial are exactly what let this suffering go on so long. So today I let the light in.
Satyam eva jayate. The truth always wins.
