Beyond "Parent": Who Are You Now?
Hey Superparents,
Ever found yourself in a rare quiet moment on the couch, and this question just lands on you: "Who am I?"
At first, the answer seems easy. "I'm Lev's parent. I'm a life coach. I live in Montclair." We list our roles and our stats.
But if you go deeper... Who are you really? Who are you now, after the divorce, as a single parent?
You're the person who walked away from a marriage that wasn't working. The person who had to grieve a dream you once built. But you're also the person who decided to stand up for yourself and for your kids.
There's a powerful shift here. The old script was, "I stayed for the kids." Our generation's new, more powerful script is, "I left for the kids." We've stopped tolerating what isn't meant for us. We're not trees. We can move. We can rebuild.
This isn't just a nice idea; it's a psychological process called Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG).
It's the idea that after a major life crisis (like a divorce), we don't just "bounce back." We are forced to rebuild our core beliefs and, in the process, we can develop new strengths, a deeper appreciation for life, and a stronger sense of self.
This new "you" has a different perspective. This "you" has boundaries. This "you" prioritizes your well-being. This "you" is stronger.
Let's Do the Work: The "Then & Now" Dynamic
Let's make this real. In the comments, share your own "Then & Now" so we can cheer each other on.
- THEN: (e.g., "I used to put my needs last.")
- NOW: (e.g., "I am learning to schedule time for myself, guilt-free.")
- THEN: (e.g., "I used to be afraid of conflict.")
- NOW: (e.g., "I am a person who holds firm boundaries.")
You are enough. You are worthy. And the person you are becoming is forged in strength.
Congratulations, Superparent. Keep going. It's worth it.
