If you’re still angry at your ex… this episode is going to challenge the way you see it.

Because what if the resentment you feel isn’t really about him anymore?

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, we unpack why anger can feel so intense—and why it often sticks around long after the relationship ends.

Through a powerful moment sparked by a viral reel, this conversation opens up something deeper:
how many women continue pouring energy outward—into blame, frustration, and resentment—while quietly abandoning themselves in the process.

We explore what’s actually happening underneath the anger, and why it can feel easier to stay there than to face what’s beneath it.

Inside this episode:

Why anger at your ex can feel justified… and still keep you stuck
How resentment is often rooted in earlier experiences—not just your marriage
The subtle ways self-abandonment shows up in relationships
Why external validation (friends, kids, social media) can’t regulate your nervous system
What happens when anger hardens into bitterness
The connection between emotional suppression, stress, and physical symptoms
How real healing happens through consistency—not one breakthrough moment

This is not about blaming yourself or minimizing what you’ve been through.

It’s about understanding what your anger might be protecting—and how to start coming back to yourself.
