Hi!
I'm Bella.
A kid with two homes.
The purpose of this blog is for kids of divorce to feel seen, heard and less alone.
This blog shares experiences of divorce, separation and family conflict.
This is a platform where you can relate, persevere and seek guidance.
I hope you find this accessible, realistic and beneficial.
