Момичето и пустинята. Азбука на развода от Аз до Той

"The Girl and the Desert. The ABC of Divorce from A to Him" by Yulia Rublova is a chronology of divorce, described in understandable language by an experienced psychologist and family psychotherapist.

The book examines the very personal and heavy topic of divorce. A tragedy you don't think about while things are fine, nor when everything unexpectedly collapses. You escape from the ruins of your former family and want to run without looking back, to leave the past behind and look only to the future. But nothing new can make you happy until you have a clear account of what happened. You must stop, look your fears and pain in the eye, see yourself without the usual self-admiration and self-pity. Then... then come the efforts, described in detail and chronologically by Yulia Rublova in "The Girl and the Desert. The ABC of Divorce from A to His". From the "butterfly" to the "free woman" – a strategy for survival. New life rules, unexpectedly bold ideas about the place of woman, about money, friendship and sex.

"In the language of psychology, our marriage was called 'fusion'. We were one whole. And I felt like in a spaceship with a hole – because one of the crew members had somehow gone out through the wall. And now the former common oxygen is whistling and floating through the hole. So, instead of patching the hole, I myself, figuratively speaking, was leaning over and, with burning eyes, terrified, looked stranded in the airless space. – Yulia Rublova
