I had failed in keeping my family intact.

I felt like I was less than all these other women who had stayed married.

And I think for me, there are so many people who have been through this, but when you're going through it, you're not aware of that.

You feel like you are the only person this has happened to, and you feel so isolated in that.

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

And that was so deeply hard for me.

And I happened to be in a community where everyone was married.

I felt like the only person who was not married.

And you kind of cross over from one day to the next from being a part of something.

to being different, to not being a part of that thing.

I don't know why, and I am in agony.

And the moment that he asked me for it to be, to say it was amicable, he tried to tell me it would be better for me.

I felt this full-bodied certainty that I could not do that, that I could not lie about it, that I would not survive this if I tried to lie about it.

So when I ran into people, I just said it.

And I never stopped saying it.

And some people could handle it and some people could not.

And I just knew I couldn't do it, which is contrary to my personality.

I'm shy, I'm very private.

But I just knew I could not spin a false narrative about this.
