Going through a divorce is never an easy thing â even if youâre lucky enough not to endure a particularly hostile one. Thereâs dividing the assets, figuring out when and where the kids will spend their time â and then thereâs dealing with all the emotional issues and heartbreak of something that was once â hopefully â filled with promise turning bad.
For Austin-based attorney and blogger Christina Pesoli, she described her own divorce seven years ago like a black hole — the stress and despair of starting her life over continually threatened to suck her back in. It was such a threat she gave that gravitational pull a name â the âdivortexâ â and wrote a book about what she learned trying to rebuild her life. Itâs called âBreak Free from the Divortex: Power Through Divorce and Launch Your New Life.â
She sat down with Houston Mattersâ Michael Hagerty, who asked her why she decided to write a book and to explain what exactly the divortex is.
