COMMENTARY: Reese Witherspoon and her husband recently announced they were divorcing — with 'deep love, kindness and mutual respect.' What about grief and anxiety? asks Oona Metz.
come to my practice are smart, competent and insightful, and in many cases, have tried for years to improve their marriages. They arrive in my office overwhelmed, sad and scared. They are worried about the impact of divorce on their kids. Although nearly 50% of marriages end in divorce, there continues to be stigma associated with this painful life transition and these women often describe feeling isolated and ashamed.
What if celebrities started talking about the real-life feelings that accompany a difficult marriage and the painful decision to divorce? What if celebrity Instagram posts read something more like, “We have a history of hurts that we can’t let go of. Neither of us feels seen or valued and we can’t escape our cycle of shame and blame. We have reached the point where we can barely stand to be in the same room. Therefore, with great sorrow, we have decided to part ways.
I wish Reese Witherspoon the best in navigating her divorce. I hope she does find love, kindness and respect for her soon-to-be ex-husband. But in the meantime, if she wants to talk about the feelings of grief and anguish that accompany divorce, I’ll save a spot for her in one of my support groups.
