Description:	I’m 52 years old and I’m getting divorced. I have two adult daughters, an old house that always needs something fixed, and two large ill-behaved (but incredibly sweet) dogs. I have a good income and can support myself financially, which puts me in a way better place than many other women facing divorce. Like many other women, I’ve defined myself largely as a wife and a mom, and now I have to figure out the other definitions.
