日益增多的民眾——其中以女性居多——於社群平台上分享未經修飾的離婚經歷,同時提供並徵詢建言。

Creators diverge markedly in the extent to which they disclose details of their own divorces and marriages.
創作者在揭露自身離婚與婚姻細節的程度上,呈現出極大的分歧。

「在一個社區裡,離婚支持團體往往寥寥可數,然而你隨手可及的手機或電腦,便能助你尋覓到與你境遇相仿之人,」Dunn表示。
"People may perceive that sharing content publicly is far safer than hosting an in-person forum, declaring to all present, 'Come one and all, I am willing to recount my own experiences.'"
「人們或許認為,公開分享內容遠比舉辦實體論壇,當眾宣告『諸位請來,我願傾訴自身經歷』,來得更為安全。」

這反而使她更有決心「宣揚離婚未必是生命的終點,實際上可以是嶄新且美好的開端。」
