Wendy and the community has helped me come to terms with my divorce. The DW website started a few weeks after my divorce was final and I was in the middle of a really dark place. I felt so much better than I had for a really long time that I didn’t even realize I was still healing. But little by little, day by day I got better. Part of that was checking in with the site regularly (perhaps when I should have been working – but that’s neither here nor there). The letters and her responses helped open my eyes that I was still dealing with issues. Then early this yer I was having a minor melt down about this next stage of my life and I wrote in to Wendy. She answered my letter with kindness and also some straightforwardness that hit home for me – how she picked up on the deep root of my anxieties from a simple letter – I’ll never know. But Wendy – you have a gift – and you’ve helped all of us! And you have particularly helped me find the sunshine again after a long time in the shadows. Feel better soon! You are an admirable and strong woman!

Thank you for this, everyone. It really made me feel good.

This website has given me a lot of insight into all types of relationship questions, and as a young person (college) I feel like I’ve learned a lot without having to make any mistakes to learn it! Thanks Wendy for showing me what to avoid and how to deal with all types of relationship situations. I feel like a lot of people do not have a good perspective on how a healthy relationship should be, and Wendy’s grounded advice is really clear cut and helpful.
