12 years ago I left a courtroom with a different marital status + a last name I hadn't used in 13 years. I emailed an editor + an hour later I announced my divorce in The New York Times. I'm thankful every day for my divorce + the path to happiness it created.

I thought I was prepared for my husband's military deployment. Then I realized I had no one to support me.
In this excerpt from her memoir, "Camouflage: How I Emerged from the Shadows of a Military Marriage," Heather Sweeney shares the loneliness she felt.
