About Separation


A young child when removed from his mother and placed with strangers is distressed; subsequently he often becomes despairing and, later still, detached. There is evidence that reactions of this kind may underlie much psychopathology. . . .

Adele Easy On Me: 'There's still a stigma about getting divorced when young'

Feb 16,2020 5:21 am

Regrets, pain, loneliness - Adele has put it all Out There in her new single Easy On Me.

The First track from her " divorce album" 30, features Brutally Honest lyrics as she tries to explain her decision to Walk Away from her marriage in 2019, while asking her son and ex-husband for understanding.

And while many fans are just delighted to hear her voice again, for others, who've also been through a divorce, The Words and music have taken on special significance.

" I changed who I was to put you both first, " she sings, " but now I give up".

" That lyric is just so powerful, " says Helen Thorn, who wrote The Book Get Divorced, Be Happy.

" Making that decision to be your best self is incredibly important. So Thank You Adele . We need more voices Out There saying divorce is OK. "

Helen's " whole world collapsed" when her marriage ended in spring 2020.

But as the months passed by she realised divorce was " The Best thing that had happened".

" I was living My Life for the First Time without compromise, without criticism and with full control. It felt empowering. "

'Still a stigma'

The song has really hit home for others, who like Adele , got divorced after not being married for long.

" I think there's definitely still a stigma around getting a divorce when younger, " says Jen Crichton - who founded the feminist magazine The Flock after getting divorced a couple of years ago.

The End of Jen's marriage was a positive step because it " marked The End of a situation that was no longer working for anyone" she tells Newsbeat.

" Yet whenever I told anyone I was getting divorced, they'd sort of tip their head to one side, apologise, sympathise. "

Jen says friends and family repeatedly asked her if she and her ex-partner had tried therapy before splitting up.

" I'm sure people meant well, but the inference was always That Divorce was a sad situation, a failing. Suggesting it might be a good thing definitely felt like it would be frowned upon.

" Today, I'm in a very happy relationship, I do a job that I adore, and my son is parented by The Best version of me. That feels like a Pretty Good outcome. "

Over The Last 50 Years , the median length of time a divorcee's marriage lasted for.

That data is only for opposite-sex couples though, because same-sex marriage has only been possible in England and Wales since 2014.

" We tend to view divorce as something that happens between warring middle-aged couples and when you're a bit younger, there's this idea that you just didn't try enough, " Jen adds.

" So hearing Adele talking about reclaiming her own independence and happiness through Separation - I think that's a really positive message. "
