Divorce. How to Survive a Breakup Without Losing Your Mind

Divorce... a drama for a woman who remains alone with a broken trough of expectations, unrealized hopes, and a collapsed dream. Even more tragic if she is left alone with children. Meanwhile, a man who is no longer bound by marriage rides off into the sunset—in the best cinematic tradition—under mournful music and raindrops trickling down the window.

Divorce… a great reason to rethink life, get rid of that infamous suitcase-without-a-handle that family life has become in recent years. A reason to exhale in relief, because the person who’s leaving you forever—perhaps someone you never even loved in the first place—is gone.

Any situation can be viewed in different ways. Of course, parting is always painful, insulting, and incomprehensible. But should a woman, after that, obediently hang a label on her forehead—“divorced, separated, scandal-prone”—hide from judging looks, dig into herself, and tell her children that dad was wrong? This is what Natalya Krasnova reflects on in her new book “Divorce. How to Survive After a Breakup and Not Go Mad.”

A popular blogger, stand-up comedian, singer, writer—she survived a painful divorce, and then for seven more years tried to deal with her emotions. And then she stopped, thought, analyzed her mistakes, and decided to share her experience with readers. How one should and how one shouldn’t behave after a relationship ends—how to survive betrayal by a loved one, how not to become a victim of public opinion, and how to live on happily—every answer is in this book. With humor, in Krasnova’s inimitable style. Because where there is laughter, there’s no room for suffering and sadness. That’s it—yes, that’s it!
