Whatever you’re going through, Grace has your back.

My spouse of 25 years sent me an email out of nowhere asking for a divorce. Since then, he has been staying with his mom, and he won’t talk to me. No emails, texts, or calls. I have never cried so much in my life. I’m shocked and confused.

How do I get past my emotions and move on without any answers as to why?

With inflation rising, rent too high, groceries and gas going up, I don’t know what to do. I work full time minimum wage, and it’s just not enough. Better jobs seem non-existent. Sometimes I have to choose between filling up my car to get to work and eating. Is there any breathing room for us in life anymore? Or is this permanent depression for us all?

I have a 17-year-old daughter. She is a really good kid and has never given me any problems and is at home for the most part. Recently, my daughter has been going out more, and she has been telling me she is going to meet a friend (which is fine), but I found out she has been going on dates with boys, not meeting a friend.

Meet Grace: She’s the big sister who shares her own mistakes so you can avoid making them. She’s the classmate who passed you a pad in the school bathroom when you got your first period. She’s the coworker who builds you up to ask for the raise you deserve. She’s the person who’s never afraid to speak her mind, and will never judge you for speaking yours. She’s the friend who can keep a secret and who is always happy to listen. We created Dear Grace® because we all need someone like Grace in our corner and she’ll never shy away from the conversations that matter.
