Divorce & Separation Support
October 24 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm CDT
Separation and divorce happen. It's hard and can be made harder by the military or veteran lifestyle. Let's talk about it.
Separation and divorce are one of life’s most stressful events. In the military and veteran culture, a divorced spouse may find his/herself separated from the community they have grown to not only love but rely on, leading to isolation. It may be that the experiences in the military and the lingering effects of service are what caused the strains in the relationship to begin with, and you may feel like those outside of this community can't relate. Not to mention that there may be kids in the picture who are very much still tied to the community and the other parent.
Navigating this type of separation is unique, complex, and emotional, so join peer leaders Heike Vargas, Tanya Mac, and Alunya Clark, for support from other separated and divorced spouses (or those considering making a separation) in this community. You are not alone.
We will have 3 different topics within this series – sign up for all 3, or the one that interests you most! You will need to register for each session, but can register for all/any via this event page.
