DIVORCE WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO HER
For twelve years, Judy Joseph Hamlin lived a lie. As a real-life Orange County housewife, Judy Joseph Hamlin seemed to have it all: the big house, the Mercedes-Benz, the designer clothes. Her charismatic, powerful husband gave her everything she ever wanted, and they appeared to be living the American dream.
However, behind all their material possessions lay nothing the bitter arguments and crushing estrangement of a lifeless, loveless marriage. Though it took years for Judy to admit that money wasn't enough, eventually she found the courage to file for divorce.
Starting over without the wealth and social status she'd once enjoyed, Judy struggled to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher while building a better life for herself and her children. In time, she realized that there is love and happiness after divorce-and that she doesn't have to pay an emotional price for it. Her story is a lifeline to millions of women whose self-worth is defined solely by the size of their husbands' wallets.
