Feeling Barefoot: July 2011
http://walking-on-eggshellz.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Walking on Eggshellz A Place for Adult Children of Divorce. Moving House But Not Moving On. Part One of this Story. Part two of this Story. Part Three of this Story. From three bathrooms to one. No washer-dryer. No back yard. No separate bedrooms. My childhood house seems like a mansion now. I wish I reveled in it all along instead of comparing it to the larger homes my friends grew up in. I was so fortunate. Hadn't I already written a Crash Course in Saying Goodbyes? Friday, July 01, 2011. Stitching a B...

Feeling Barefoot: House for Sale
http://walking-on-eggshellz.blogspot.com/2010/12/house-for-sale.html
Walking on Eggshellz A Place for Adult Children of Divorce. Part One of this Story. It kills me to think that the couple tentatively placing a bid on our house will pull the Realtor aside to ask why the house is for sale and the Realtor will look to either side, move a bit close, and whisper in a hush hush voice, "messy divorce.". It makes me hate the Realtor. Mom has been living in the house on her own. My mind is playing tricks on me. I don't want to think about it. Logically, there is nothing I can do...

Feeling Barefoot: Pain is Relative
http://walking-on-eggshellz.blogspot.com/2010/09/pain-is-relative.html
Walking on Eggshellz A Place for Adult Children of Divorce. People feel pain differently. Over the past three days, I thought about this as I sat in a chair in Mt. Sinai hospital on the Upper East Side. My mother underwent a two-hour surgery and recovered from the eighth floor overlooking 5th Ave. I am thankful she got the window bed, I had a great view to think. I wish I realized this a year ago.

Feeling Barefoot: Adult Children of Divorce: An Attorney’s Perspective
http://walking-on-eggshellz.blogspot.com/2010/12/adult-children-of-divorce-attorneys.html
Walking on Eggshellz A Place for Adult Children of Divorce. Adult Children of Divorce: An Attorney’s Perspective. Written exclusively for Feeling Barefoot by guest blogger Diana Mercer:. It seems like older children take their parents’ divorce much harder than the younger ones do. As much as a divorce rocks the world of a child under 12 years old, mostly these kids are resilient and they adapt to the change in circumstances. And the younger they are, the better they adapt. Languishing in school because t...

Feeling Barefoot: Bucket of Tears
http://walking-on-eggshellz.blogspot.com/2010/10/bucket-of-tears.html
Walking on Eggshellz A Place for Adult Children of Divorce. How many buckets have I filled with tears for my family? With time, I cried less. Still, I cried easily. Hearing the "D" word when I least expected brought more tears. Seeing intact families in all their happiness made me sob. I cried less but I was fragile, and almost anything seemed to rattle my calm. Eventually, the crying stopped. How many buckets have I filled with tears for my family? Thursday, October 28, 2010. November 2, 2010 at 7:04 PM.

Feeling Barefoot: November 2010
http://walking-on-eggshellz.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Walking on Eggshellz A Place for Adult Children of Divorce. The moment I heard the words, "Your Mother and I are getting divorced," my heart skipped a beat. It skipped a few, I am sure of it. It was the last thing in the entire world that I was expecting to hear and I was totally unprepared to grasp its true meaning. I didn't scream, I didn't cry, I stayed silent. Denial went something like this:. No, this is just a rough patch in life, but everything will turn out okay. My parents will be fine. ...If I ...

Feeling Barefoot: ACODs are Adults: What's Your Point?
http://walking-on-eggshellz.blogspot.com/2010/09/acods-are-adults-whats-your-point.html
Walking on Eggshellz A Place for Adult Children of Divorce. ACODs are Adults: What's Your Point? In the acronym ACOD, the keyword is “adult.” You’re a grownup. You can handle it. Really. I try to snap out of self-pity constantly because letting myself get emotional is an act of narcissism. Divorce is about your parents, not you. Right? Divorce is an ugly miserable thing that upends your life, eradicates your daily routine and erases your plans for the future. Thursday, September 30, 2010. He doesnt. ...
