We're very thrilled to kickstart this second season with a special story. The story is so representative of what we wanted to do with this podcast. It just brings together all of the complexities of relationships, families, divorces, heartbreaks and more importantly, RESILIENCY. When we think about giving up, our minds and bodies, for some reason, decide that "No, no one is giving up". And that leads to beautiful ending and beginnings.For the next few episodes, we will follow Jennifer throughout her fascinating story. This first episode is: “The making/background of Jennifer - We are running away from your father”.Website: www.AmericanDivorceStories.comWant to share your story? Want to suggest ideas/content?

This is part 2 of Nicole's story. The part 1 episode really lays the groundwork and paints a good picture of how Nicole got to this point in her life and marriage.  At this point in Nicole's journey, things have gotten pretty tough for her. At first, she fell head over heels for her husband because he was showering her with love and affection – that's what they call love bombing. But after they tied the knot and had a baby, that love bombing stopped cold. What Nicole faced next was a harsh reality of constant narcissistic abuse, which really took a toll on her emotionally. And if that wasn't enough, her husband Chris cut her off from her family and friends, making her feel even more trapped. And now that Nicole was cornered and isolated and too busy with raising her 2 children and a very demanding, well paying job; too busy that she did not even have time to question anything her husband was doing. Until the signs that something was completely wrong started staring her in the face.-------------------------------These are all the ways you can get in touch with Nicole:Connect with the Community: https://www.tacosfallapart.com/contact/contact-mommaMental Health Resources: https://www.tacosfallapart.com/mental-health-resourcesEven Tacos Fall Apart Podcast Episodes: https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guestsShe's on all socials as MommaFoxFire:http://twitch.tv/mommafoxfirehttps://twitter.com/mommafoxfirehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mommafoxfirehttps://www.youtube.com/mommafoxfirehttp://instagram.com/mommafoxfire/https://www.facebook.com/MommaFoxFireWebsite: www.AmericanDivorceStories.comWant to share your story?

We do believe people that we love when they tell us something. That's just human nature. If you questioned everything that everyone told you, you'd have a miserable life. So just remember that throughout this story. Remember that Nicole was doing the thing she was supposed to do; which is to believe the person she used to call her husband. This is Nicole's story.----------------------This episode is brought to you by Betterhelp.BetterHelp is online therapy that offers video, phone, and even live chat-only therapy sessions.

This is part 2 of Mick's story.Mick's story highlights the impact the family court and justice system can have when that justice system fails miserably. Mick's ex-wife had run away with their daughter - and Mick had to turn to the justice system to get his daughter back. Unfortunately, the system will end up failing him and his daughter for many years.The story's happy ending will end up coming from the most unlikely source. -------------------------------Mick is the author of a great book highlighting his story and ordeal:* Burning America: In the Best Interest of the Children: https://www.amazon.com/Burning-America-Best-Interest-Children/dp/1956353259?ref_=ast_author_dp* The Aftermath: Custody, Parental Alienation, and Healing:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/navigating-the-legal-process-part-2/id1647001828?i=1000600843499Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/burningamericacommunity/Website: www.AmericanDivorceStories.comWant to share your story?

Mick was born in the 60s and grew up mostly in California, which was a great place to be at the time. The sun was always shining, the surf was up, and the music was pretty good.But life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows - California in the 60s was also marked by social and political upheaval. Protests against the Vietnam War were common, civil rights activists were making their voices heard, and there was a general feeling of rebellion in the air. When it comes to family values and divorces, there are both similarities and contrasts between the US in the 60s and nowadays. Back in the 60s, the nuclear family was still the norm, and divorce was somewhat frowned upon. Nowadays, things are different - divorce rates are higher, and families come in all shapes and sizes.Through Mick's story, you will get to jump into a time machine and experience everything he experienced during that period all the way to today.But Mick's story also highlights the horrible impact the family court and justice system can have when that justice system fails miserably. Mick's ex-wife had run away with their daughter - and Mick had to turn to the justice system to get his daughter back. Unfortunately the system will end up failing him and his daughter for many many years. And the story's happy ending will end up coming from the most unlikely source.

This is part 2 of Renee's story.Renee was born in 1971; the daughter of a Puerto-Rican father and a white mother from Ohio. Being of such a mixed heritage in the 70s was still very much frowned upon in a lot of areas in the US; including the area where she grew up in Ohio. Her mother's family never accepted her and for Renee that rejection will end up impacting her upbringing. Another element that will end up impacting her upbringing: the fact that she did not look Puerto Rican; she looked white. Which will give her a very cool point of view. Throughout her life, Renee felt like a spy. Despite being different. Despite being rejected by part of her family for being different, she was able to blend in the cool circles.Website: www.AmericanDivorceStories.comWant to share your story?

When life gets overwhelming, very overwhelming, we all wish we could just leave everything and go away. Go away to a faraway place where life's pressure cannot follow us. We all wish we could do that, but we don't do it. Because we have jobs, families, mortgages to pay. But Danielle had a front-row seat to someone who actually did it. That someone is her ex-husband. He literally just packed up and left - with 0 warnings. And this wasn't someone she had met on a dating app for a week or two and who decided to ghost her. This was someone she had been married to for 14 years.Website: www.AmericanDivorceStories.comWant to share your story? Want to suggest ideas/content? DM us on our Instagram Page.

Today's story is part 2 of Dayna's story. As a brief recap of part 1, Dayna took us through the process of the making of Dayna the adult we all know and love. Being a shy teenager, Dayna completely reinvented herself when she went to college. And as a result of that transformation, she had the time of her life in college. After college, she continued thriving personally and professionally. Professionally, she had a great sales job at a large national magazine and, as part of her job, she was managing the personal ads section of the magazine. That was in the 80s, before dating websites or apps were even a thing, a time when people were using the ads section to look for dates and partners.Link to get Dayna's book “I'm a Double D: Divorced and Dating” HEREDayna's Instagram HEREWebsite: www.AmericanDivorceStories.comWant to share your story?

Today's story is Dayna's story. Dayna is a 70's baby. She has a great perspective on the thing that comes before the divorce/breakup. The stage that comes before getting engaged and married. That stage is dating. All five of us on the ADS podcast team are millennials. And as millennials, we dated in the 2000s before dating apps were even there. We had to date and find our mates using normal human interaction. Sometimes, that interaction happened at 3 am at a bar. But it was still a face-to-face human interaction. Dayna has had a first-row seat to watch this transition in dating, starting all the way back in the 80s. In fact, Dayna, as a salesperson at a large magazine, was helping men and women write and set up their dating profiles in the magazine. Link to get Dayna's book “I'm a Double D: Divorced and Dating” HERE.

Today's story is the story of a very good-looking, blonde California girl with a sense of empathy so strong that it took her life into some very interesting paths and relationships. The story of a person with empathy and compassion sensors constantly directed outward, and very rarely inward.For example, when she was in her early twenties, she played the role of a mental health therapist for a boyfriend she had just broken up with. A boyfriend who was much older than her and who was robbing her of her freedom and joy. She basically tried to help him get over her and transition into his new life.—----------------------------Erica is a sex therapist and can be contacted at www.EricaLemke.comErica's Instagram HERE.—-------------------------To share your stories, contact us on Instagram (@American_Divorce_Stories).Our website: www.AmericanDivorceStories.com.
