Whine Down- A New Normal

[@heathur25]

You have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. You fought like hell for you and your kids. You are brave, strong, and the best mama to those babies. Never feel ashamed of loving with all your heart. You are a warrior and you have an army behind you! You have touched so many lives ❤️

[@markusthedrummer8143]

so 3 divorces and four failed engagements (Brantley Gilbert) is nothing to be embarrassed about? She's a warrior and strong and brave? 😕 I think you need to open a dictionary and double-check the definitions of ALL those words you just incorrectly used.

[@heavenlygal101]

Continue staying strong. And, you have people to stay strong for. You have people who are here for you.

[@helenboddy4801]

Thank you for being so open about your struggles. Apart of any battle is knowing when to stop fighting. So sorry that you have to go thru this. You are strong and will get thru this. We are all wishing you the best. One day at a time. You’ve got this.

Sara’s words are so comforting. You gave your all and you should not feel bad that it didn’t work. You did all you could and a ton more! We love you, you have taught us so much and the fact that this happened doesn’t take away all the things you’ve taught us nor does it undermine them. You are still strong during your weakest times. We love you and we are here for you and I hope you find peace and happiness ❤️

[@boomjonnyboom]

Its okay to cry in front of the kids too. You just tell them that mommy's sad cause daddy's gone. Eventually you have to be truthful to the kids anyway. So it's okay to be sad in front of them. Cause they are going to be sad to. You've got this. Your stronger than you think.

[@shainaannx17]

I remember being a young kid and my parents split. Was it hard? Yes, of course. But from the kid point of view , knowing my parents were better apart and had a chance to be happy was what got me through it. Don't ever be embarrassed. You have every right to be upset, angry, etc. Good karma will be in your favor for everything you did. Thinking of you, Jana. Wish we could all give you a hug. We love you. ❤

You are so strong. I have been following you for as long as I remember, and even thought you may feel weak right now, I have seen nothing but strength from you. All sorts of people look up to you, learning from what you're willing to share. You've got this, Jana. You have an amazing support group. People love you. You just need to make sure you love yourself 💜💜. I look forward to watching you grow from this. You are a beautiful flower. Never let anyone pluck you.

Hello Jana, I heard you this morning, and I couldn't help but feel so so absolutely sorry that you're going through this right now. You have the right to feel angry, sad, etc. etc. Whatever you feel right now is alright, and completely necessary. Don't feel embarrassed, I'm here for you and I'm still one of your biggest fans. *virtual hugs*

[@serenity2655]

Yes Virtual hugs ( & for those touched by the topic personally).

[@markusthedrummer8143]

Let’s see she has her health and millions of dollars in the bank and a nanny and a massive house And tons of gullible foolish complaining people to support her and continue to give her money and time and attention. Why would you ever feel sorry for someone like that? I feel sorry for all of you

[@lynn99anna]

@@markusthedrummer8143 it doesn't matter how much money someone has. Heartbreak is heartbreak, trauma is trauma. Yes, do people with money have less worries in terms of paying rent and putting food on the table? Yes absolutely but heartbreak, trauma, mental health struggles doesn't just affect one type of demographic. I'm not saying this to start an argument with you. Just putting out another perspective on things :-)

[@sophmoore]

Can I just say.....THANK YOU! To do this while your grieving with all sorts of emotional, raw, broken feelings etc etc This just shows and brings to light that you truly are a person, a human being just like anyone one of us! It is refreshing to see a "celebrity" be open and honest with the world. Sending you and everyone in your circle so much love, light & positive vibes. Xx ❤

This is so helpful to see you fight through the pain. I am going through an extremely similar situation and it’s killing me inside.. You are a light. Your story is STILL helping me.. Thank You so much- Xo

[@tomsizemore5162]

Alot of us are or have been where you are. Myself back n fourth a few times before my kids mom and I finally stopped trying.. never be embarrassed. This is your story to tell. No one else's to judge. I've raised my kids the last 12 yrs now on my own and it's mine to tell.. You said something we all stay, we stayed for the kids. Myself, I finally said, I can't let my kids see this side of a relationship. I'd rather go it alone, to show them the strength it takes to set an example. You're stronger then you know Jana because you want your kids to see the happiness of your time spent with them. Trust me kids know when it isn't right. My son was 6 when we split up. We moved into our new place. He said, you're happy again right Daddy. I said ya bud how did you know, he said, Because you're smiling again.. That's when I knew I made the right decision for us.. btw. working title, Because you're smiling again. Write your story..

[@lorisherrow]

Jana, I've loved you since One Tree Hill. Your podcast is touching, raw and impactful. To open your heart and life with the good and the bad, it just doesn't happen like that anymore. Everyone wants to save face and put the highlight reel out there for others to see. I appreciate you, as I'm sure so many others do as well. Number 1 rule: this podcast is your choice. If it's not helping your mental health, then let the season pass. If it's a way to hold you accountable and keep you moving, stay with it. You've always had great guests who have so much knowledge and life skills to use; use those people to help you. Hugs to you. You are beautiful, brave, strong, courageous and you will get through this.

[@tdubshub63]

Jana I am so sorry that things didn't work out for you and Mike. I pray that God will use the therapy to heal your heart and help you sort through the challenges you faced in your marriage. Grief, anger, sense of loss and a range of other emotions are normal. Please don't beat yourself up. It's easy for others to take an "I told you so posture" but ignore that crap. Praying for you and Mike as you navigate the new normal. You took a brave step and by doing so, you inspire other women to not only say "enough!" but also do something about it. God bless you sweetie.

Its ok to cry and be sad for your children. Your kids are going to now see the strength of their mother. My dad left when I was 1 and 1/2 after pushing my mom down the stairs. She did what she could and I never blamed her I was in awe that she could take on so much and still love us. That's what your kids are going to see the warrior mom who had her heart broken but never her spirit. Your kids will love you even more and when they are old enough to comprehend will love you even more for all you will do for them. Trust me I have experience in this growing up in it. Hugs you have a great voice and from your male fans your a hero .

[@hawthorneandersonllp]

There is a process, try to let it happen, with no judgement of yourself. Divorce, even in the best conditions still feels like failure. I think that is why it is so hard to do what you did. Then, at some point, it is just time. This action is for the kids, for you and maybe even for him. God has a plan and will never give you more than you can handle. In my case, I was pretending all was fine, glass half full all the time. At some point that feeling will go and the process will happen, grieving, failure, anger -- all of it. Again, let it happen. The strength I see in you is amazing, my heart feels it. You are loved and this moment in time will be gone and you will have a new happiness, whatever that is. The kids will always be part of your strength, but make sure you take care of you. Love you so much, it is hard to see you hurting, but I know you and your heart will be ok. Jesus is in this fire with you. :-)

No she is not strong, you are dead wrong and she is the exact opposite. Feeling sorry for herself crying complaining. She brought this on herself. She has a terrible track record with men. She’s the one who puts her poop out there every day for the world to see what color it is and to smell how awful it is. You people here are absolutely weak and pathetic.

[@jessicaclontz7155]

@@markusthedrummer8143 She stayed for her kids. She put everyone before herself. To me, that is a strong ass woman right there. Her husband broke her trust and completely manipulated her into believing that he had changed. So no, this is not weakness. Wiping her tears every single morning and putting on a smile for her kids despite the pain in her heart is weak? Not having anywhere to go for just a few seconds to cry and grieve and let it all out due to her being there for her family is being weak? We sir have two very different views of weakness. She came here to let it out and talk to her fans and her audience about a situation that she is going through which she has every right to do. Go ahead and believe that she put herself in this situation and that she is "weak and pathetic" but don't come on here and try and convince others or her that your thoughts are valid in this situation. There is absolutely no reason to try and tear down a woman who is already going through a rough time in her life. In this situation, you are the only person who is pathetic.

[@erinnicole598]

Your children will thank you some day, I know it’s hard to imagine right in this moment. You walking away does not mean that you didn’t try, it doesn’t mean you didn’t care and it doesn’t mean you didn’t love your spouse and having your family together. You are giving yourself the respect that you ALWAY deserved, that SHOULD’VE been given to you by your husband. I believe your kids will thank you because when they are grown they will know how to have a healthy relationship, but most of all they will know how to love and respect themselves and not settle for less. This is a huge lesson that not many people get to learn. You are an amazing women, mother, role model and partner, just because it ended badly due to someone else’s mistake doesn’t mean you failed, it just means they did

[@oliviahartwell4518]

You’ve got this, Queen. Many of us who have walked the same path as you (walking away from a cheating spouse) felt exactly as you did at first (embarrassed, lost, scared, weak). First, you do not have anything about which to feel embarrassed. Second, time WILL heal the wounds, and you’ll see yourself grow. Your standards will completely change, as will your sense of self-worth and self-respect. And you will be proud of yourself for walking away when it was tough to do so. You’ll recognize the immense strength it took to stop living a beautiful lie and start living an honest truth. The constant disrespect from someone who doesn’t value family and loyalty is not worth it, especially for your kids. Your home will be a happy place again, maybe happier than it ever has been with just you and the kiddos. And if love finds you, let it in. Just wait for God’s timing 💕💕

Never be embarrassed ha ha things end up. Because you’re embarrassed you’re a guilty what are you guilty about at the same time you were ready potentially Marin that person everything happens for a reason. Each relationship you will learn different things along the way what you want in relationship and what you don’t want in a relationship. And sometimes you’re just gonna have to remove yourself from other relationships and I might be difficult but you’re gonna have to wake up that you need people to keep pushing you forward and not pulling you back. The people that can lift you up in hard times and balance you out. You don’t have our friends they just keep pulling in back and negativity and stuff if they’re doing that we were the matter of your life and move on.

We want our parents to be happy, and some are happier apart.

[@GabrielaR825]

My parents stuck it out for the kids but trust me when I tell you that I wish they would’ve gotten a divorce as soon as they knew it wasn’t going to work. We noticed everything. We heard the arguments. Your kids won’t understand it now and they won’t like it but when they get older they’ll see it was 100% the best choice. It’ll be the main reason they lived a healthy happy life. You’re doing the best you can do and that’s all you can do. Keep your head up. 💕
