[quote=Anonymous]Glennon has her podcast with Jen from April in transcript form on her Momastery site. I copied and pasted it here:

Jen Hatmaker:

But in short, I was married for 26 years and I got married, every time I say this, I just have a stab of horror, but I got married when I was 19 and Brandon, my ex-husband was 21. We were in college and we were in a conservative Christian college environment, which is just to say, it’s a very strange place. It’s a very strange ecosystem in and of itself. And a bunch of little babies get married there. And that seems normal. And we have real weddings. Our parents give us away like it’s a normal thing. She’s 19, she makes $4.25 at the YMCA. Go be a wife. You know what I’m saying? What the hell? What the hell are we doing?

Jen Hatmaker:

So I started really young. I was never really an adult a single day in my life without a man. I went straight from my dad to a boy. So we built a whole life, a whole life. We grew up together essentially. And we had three kids and then we adopted two more. Ben and Remy are our youngest, they’re Ethiopian and we adopted them when they were five and eight and built this entire Hatmaker ethos. And then in 2020, just after the pandemic started, so that was already, we were just already all flailing around and we started the divorce process. And for us, it wasn’t a slow burn. It wasn’t a mutual… we are devolving or disconnecting or we’ve been working and working and we can’t get these things resolved. It wasn’t like that. It was overnight, it was shock and awe. It was one day you know something, and the next day, you know something different. And there isn’t recovery from it.[/quote]
