divorce therapy

I've noticed that when people that go through a divorce, most seem to go through an "exploration" of sorts.  Some people sleep around with multiple anonymous partners, some drink themselves into oblivion & others just do things that aren't "them" just to see if it takes. I was in the third category. I refer to the "exploration" period after my separation as my divorce therapy. 

First I bought a bunch of Sinful brand clothes... I actually owned the shirt in the picture below. What?

Then I drank a lot of these

Next I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning so I could dance the night away at a club.

On top of that I maxed out a credit card... over $5000.00 (oops)

I kept this up for six weeks before my Andrea brain came back. None of these things were me (except for the spending, albeit on a much smaller scale). I'm just not a clubbin' sort of gal. I am not in any way part of the fighting scene that Sinful brand represents. I hate staying up super late - unless it's to watch a movie in my bed, or to finish some crafting or sewing project. Basically I am a grandma.

Pretty much it was a weird but happy time. Luckily I didn't sustain too much lasting damage.. oh except for some credit card debt. And might I say it was worth it!


P.S. I'm not going into all the crappiness or side effects certain forms of "divorce exploration" could have. And I am an advocate of the real therapy (which I also went to).  This is just to poke fun at myself.
