For many women who face a break up or divorce, their health takes a huge hit, causing mental and physical health challenges, some that take years to overcome, and some that change how you feel, how you live, and even who you are, forever. Women lose confidence and put themselves so far down their list as the practical tasks that separation and divorce result in, and the emotional needs of their children if they have them, all take top priority.
