I have received so many emails from women who have screen names like …. and I made these up…. Divorce2x or divorcedmom or exwife or divorcedandafraid and they make me feel sad. Why? It’s because it seems to me that these women have no identity in their minds other than the fact that they are someone’s ex, someone’s mom, or someone who is broken and afraid. How can they possibly get past that identity?
Each time they see these screen names or send someone else an email and use them, the message is the same…gloom and sadness and doom. It would be so much better if they used a screen name that could remind everyone that there is a new beginning, a happy thought, a great tomorrow or something to that effect.
How can any of us feel positive when things go wrong if we are constantly reminded of the negative?
