En écrivant “lâche un ouac” à un chum, je me suis demandé s’il comprendrait… je ne suis pas né ici et j’ai collectionné plusieurs régionalismes.
- Quelles sont les expressions d’ailleurs qui ne sont pas comprises à Gatineau?

I was in a very bad place during the years leading to divorce. Depressions, zero self-esteem, i had let myself die inside.
If this is also where you are, know that it gets better.
It was extremely tough at the beginning of the separation, a year ago. As my context changed i adapted, made mistakes, listened-to and read a lot of advice, sobered up, failed, got up again, tried different experiences, reestablished relationships with my friends whom i was too ashamed to see, explored who i had become after 20 years of a slow death.
I don’t blame my ex either; they’re just an asshole like so many other folk. Just one of them, now a stranger to me, with whom i have legal ties because my son is with me half the time, but nothing else. I still help them with bureaucracy and will do them a favour, but that is because that’s who i am and i value my kindness.
I am not ashamed anymore, i am a good person. My perspectives on my context improved tremendously. I worked for that.
You. Hey you! You’ll get through as well. You will certainly meet difficulties, but you will face them on your own terms. And it will get better. Don’t give up on yourself.
It gets better.
