How Divorce Affects Your Identity Even When You Think You’re “Handling It”

There comes a moment in divorce where you look at yourself and realize something feels off.
Not broken. Not falling apart.
Just different.

Maybe it happens while you are brushing your teeth at night and suddenly wonder why your reflection feels unfamiliar.
Or while choosing dinner and realizing you do not even know what you actually enjoy eating anymore.
Or when a friend asks, “How are you?” and you hesitate, not because you are hiding something, but because you genuinely do not know how to answer.
