Did anyone else struggle after the divorce? I initiated it. I’d been unhappy for years. 50/50 with the kids. Divorce finalised and ex moved out a few months ago, I’ve kept the family home.

Despite 50/50 I’m still doing the vast majority of parenting. Communication is terrible, it was in the marriage so I don’t know why I was naive in thinking it would be easier. If I message something he doesn’t like he ignores me for a week. He also doesn’t respect my boundaries at all so I feel a total lack of control around some aspects of my life.

I thought I was doing great, I’m now absolutely burnt out and have been signed off work as I was just emotional all the time.

In what way is he not respecting your boundaries?

I haven’t experienced this but can imagine it to be quite common as it’s now final. Be kind to yourself.
