Open Water

Retha Rossouw

You be you! This is what divorce is like, bottomless, alone and terrifying. There is nothing that can prepare you for the devastating emotional rollercoaster that follows total rejection... nothing. This is to say that if you didn't want a divorce, it wasn't on your personal itinerary, therefore. It is especially hard when you find yourself leaving, not by choice but by force, slow merciless abuse that is meant to drive you away and, eventually, does. This narrative is not meant for those who have suffered failed love relationships, or colourful affairs that went south, it is meant for those who are dealing with the destruction of decades. Decades of commitment, love and support given, being thrown back in your face with glee. This is a book about finding the best you, appreciating who you are, believing in who you know you have always been, and having compassion for yourself.
