Divorce and Modern Forgiveness After 40: Why You Don’t Need an Apology to Heal! 💔➡️💪 || DD#236 || David and Rachel

Welcome to the Divorce Devil Podcast! 🏆 In this episode, David and Rachel dive deep into the messy, hilarious, and totally real world of forgiveness after divorce—especially for those of us over 40. Is forgiveness still about waiting for an apology, or has it evolved into something deeply personal (and way less dramatic)? 🤔

Forget everything you learned about old-school forgiveness—you know, the kind where you wait for your ex to admit they were wrong (spoiler alert: they probably won’t!). David and Rachel spill the honest truth about releasing resentment, setting boundaries, and learning to forgive for your own peace of mind—not for the person who hurt you. 💪

We talk about:

• Why forgiveness doesn’t always mean a face-to-face “I’m sorry”

• Healing when apologies never come

• Co-parenting with someone you can’t stand (Oscar-worthy acting skills may be required! 🎭)

• Practical strategies: journaling, support groups, and forgiving yourself first

• How to stop letting your ex live rent-free in your head

Rachel even shares her own “aha” moment about what it really means to let go (and why you don’t have to like the word “forgiveness” to practice it).

If you’re tired of holding grudges, ready to move forward, or just need a laugh after a tough week, this one’s for you.
