Divorce: The First Six Months with Peter Maestrey

Maria Suarez - Ep. 18.2 - I was addicted to this feeling of feeling terrible.


Listen Later

In this episode we learn that on Maria's 40th birthday, the marriage began to fall apart. After a life of being raised to want the three kids and the beautiful home, she was thinking that she had failed for not reaching that dream. She was convinced and had told herself repeatedly that she wanted those things.  It was not until she went to the root of her problems, to the breaking point, that she really analyzed it and discovered everything she faulted came back to her. To her anger issues, her resentments. It was all her.

She tells how if she dated you, it was because she could manipulate you. She shares how she would hit you below the belt because she was aware that you would take it. A method she developed within relationships. Hearing her say this you would think that she was a bad person, but as she continues to speak you begin to see her humanity and how ingrained her idea of what she thought she should be was far removed from who she was. 

In this episode you begin to understand how what is sometimes considered or viewed as ugly can slowly become the foundation for what is beautiful when you are honest with yourself, as well as others.
