Plus: The health impacts of microplastics in the seafood we eat
| | | | Tamara Oudyn realised she wasn't coping with her marriage break-up when she had a panic attack moments before having to read the 7pm news.
"For the next half hour, I clutched the news desk like a life raft with both hands, knuckles white," she writes in an article for RN this week.
"When it was finally over, I fled the building, rattled and relieved.
"I was now in that twilight zone of a break-up, where everything is raw and bewildering and you feel like your world is underwater."
One in three Australian marriages end in divorce. And since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, family counsellors, mediators and lawyers say they are busier than ever.
But Tamara says it's not impossible to separate and co-parent amicably, without having to waste vast amounts of money on lawyers.
Along with RN's Maria Tickle, she's made a new series for Life Matters called The Good Divorce – full of heartfelt advice from the experts and personal stories from lived experience.
Until next time,
