Navigating Divorce When One Person Refuses to Let Go: A Personal Reflection by Dr. Mona Gupta
Divorce is never easy, even under the best circumstances. But when one person is unable or unwilling to move on, it can become an emotional battlefield. In our latest video blog, Dr. Mona Gupta, founder of GPW Psychiatry & Wellness, shares a deeply personal reflection on her own journey through divorce and the emotional complexities that arise when one partner refuses to let go.
Dr. Gupta knows firsthand how difficult it is to leave a marriage, especially when children are involved. She explores the struggles of co-parenting with someone who holds onto resentment, the challenges of setting boundaries, and the importance of prioritizing one’s own well-being.
In this candid discussion, she offers insights on:
- The emotional toll of leaving when your ex sees you as the enemy
- The necessity of setting firm boundaries for mental health and peace
- The challenges of co-parenting with a partner who remains stuck in the past
- The importance of standing up for yourself, even in the face of manipulation and blame
- How to move forward when your ex refuses to heal
Ultimately, Dr. Gupta reminds us that while divorce is painful, staying in an unhealthy marriage out of fear or obligation can be even worse. Her message is clear: You are allowed to move on, to rebuild, and to find happiness again.
