William Blackburn

I am a high school teacher in Charlotte, NC, who is transitioning from married life to post-divorce living. I was married for 20 years and have two beautiful children. I am an avid reader and prior to my teaching career I was a journalist, columnist and freelance writer.

I have enjoyed the experiences and challenges that come with today’s educational atmosphere but divorce has presented me with a series of new questions and few answers. When people ask me nowadays what is it that I do I tell them, “I’m a day by day-er”. In other words, I ride life’s rollercoaster every day and it has its ups and downs. Education and writing are my passions but telling others about my divorce and how to avoid it is part of my legacy.
