Divorce Sisterhood

The Hood Ornament Handbook

This fun little book written strictly for cathartic reasons, uses humor and sarcasm to help women begin to polish away the tarnish and re-establish self esteem after divorce.

I wrote the Hood Ornament Handbook as a way of venting my anger, honoring the "sisterhood " of women going through similar situations and verbalizing my improved self esteem. It is very "tongue in cheek" but it is also very true!

"Hood Ornament Syndrome," as I have coined it, is my own take on the stereotypical "trophy wife". Not necessarily young, blonde and buxom, the Hood Ornament wife can be anything "shiny" that gives status to the man [who claims her as his], just like that thing on the front of an expensive car that men find so fascinating.

Many years ago, I realized that my husband at that time, no longer cared about what I felt, or what I wanted. I also realized he was proud of my abilities and talents, but only in a self serving kind of way. That's when I came up with the term "Hood Ornament".

A Hood Ornament has many forms. It may include the fact that you are a gourmet cook, have a career, or decorate a beautiful home, maybe you bring home a sizable paycheck, make great dinner conversation with clients, or you raise good children. Whatever it is that makes us his Hood Ornament, when the man (a.k.a. the fool) leaves us, we immediately see ourselves as tarnished, broken, defective, and no longer the preferred status symbol we once were. It doesn't matter how educated we may be, how much money we make, or how powerful our careers, we all have the potential to be considered a "hood ornament".

If you are ready to laugh, ready to do a little "man bashing" and ready to vent your anger and move on, this little book is a must have!
