I love your newsletter, Cindy, and this one was so raw and moving. Divorce is so hard. I’m glad women are speaking up & out about the hard things. I’ll have a piece out with Literary Mama in the May/June issue too - my first literary piece (!!). I am absolutely astounded to be in the issue with Maggie Smith. Thank you for all you are doing to elevate the work of mothers in all our forms.
Thank you for sharing. I’ve started reading Maggie’s memoir and it is gorgeous. I am a young writer, starting to share my story here on Substack. It feels lonely and as if one trauma or struggle wasn’t enough, these parts of motherhood and being a woman are complex. I’m glad I’ve found your writing and I’m thrilled to check out your book recommendations.

Cindy thank you for writing this—a reader said I might resonate after reading my piece “D is for Divorce” https://radicalmatriarch.substack.com/p/d-is-for-divorce
I guess we’re all asking the question of whether liberation can exist within the confines of marriage. Jury is still out over here!
I so appreciate others being real about it.
