Why I Got Divorced | A Quiet Day as a Single Mom 🇯🇵

Hi, I'm Meimama. 🌿 A 40-year-old single mom living somewhere in the Japanese countryside, with my child and two little cats — Mei and Rai. A little over a year ago, I got divorced. In this video, I quietly share why — and what my days look like now: slow mornings, simple meals, and finally being able to breathe. It wasn't one big, dramatic event. It was the slow loss of myself — until one day I realized I'd forgotten how to relax. So I took my child and moved out. Life still isn't always easy. But now I can speak, eat, and simply exist without bracing for something. And that means everything. They say one in three couples in Japan end up divorcing. How is it in your country? If you've ever felt like you couldn't speak up in your own home — you're not alone. I felt it too. 🤍 Thank you for watching all the way to the end. 🔔 Subscribe to follow our quiet days in the countryside. #singlemom #divorce #lifeinjapan #japanvlog #cozyvlog #slowliving #singlemominjapan #raisingkids #japanesecountryside #catsofyoutube #healing #selfcare ☕ If you'd like, you can support us with a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/meimama
