I ended my relationship a few years ago and am currently going through a divorce from my Chinese husband. According to the ‘Holmes-Rahe Life Stress Inventory,’ divorce ranks second on the list of the most stressful events a person can go through in their life.

I generally agree, particularly if your ex is a malignant narcissist, psychopath, or otherwise dangerous person, or someone who enjoys conflict.

What has been even more stressful for me, though, is that all contact with my children was cut off on July 2nd, 2020, by my Chinese husband, and I have not been able to see them since.
