Recently, when I wrote about the different types of divorce parties, I touched on the variety of ways that women can heal after divorce. For some it may involve getting rid of every painful trace of the marriage, for others it may involve spending time with friends and still others may choose a new hobby or career that they never had time to pursue while they were married. The way a woman heals after divorce depends very much on her personality and the nature of the divorce.
At the top of the list for many of the newly divorced is a vacation for helping them to get past the pain. Of course with the high cost of divorce, a vacation is a luxury that most will not be able to afford. Well, there is a now a new reality show that is in the process of casting called “Divorce Getaway” where the newly divorced or separated will get that much needed vacation. Participants for the show will also have the chance to win cash and prizes, but most importantly they will be provided with resources to help them rebuild their lives and hopefully have some fun in the process.
Producers from Glassman Media are looking for recently divorced or separated men and women between the ages of 25 and 45 who are looking to rebuild their lives. There are many details of the show that are still in the works, but the participants will definitely be getting some time away at a five star resort. As far as reality show getaways, this sounds way better than having to build your own shelter and scrounge for food like they do on some of those other reality shows.
To apply for the show or to nominate some you know, email the following information to DivorceGetaway4@gmail.com:
1. Name:
2. Occupation:
3. City where you live:
4. Phone:
5. How long separated or divorced:
6. Short bio on downfall of the relationship:
7. Include the reason your spouse would say it ended:
8. Two Pictures
To view the official casting release visit the Divorce Getaway page at Glassman Media where you can also view videos of their prior projects. And of course if you do get on the show don’t forget to stop by and tell your friends at LuvemOrLeavem all about it.
Well, it might be interesting to watch, but who wants to talk about their divorce in public?
Monique’s last blog post..Defying gravity
I looked at the link at the bottom of the article and the video was actually really touching! I sent in my application right after and they got back to me saying they are looking for individuals, not the couple… thank goodness he doesn’t have to be involved!
omygoodness….I could SOOOO use this exploitation or not…
staciesmadness’s last blog post..Totally ticks me off Tuesday
It looks like an excuse to get emotionally worn out couples together in a room in front of a camera. If they have to *battle* for the vacation, that means the whole thing is gonna get ugly.
very interesting idea. it does kinda feel like they’re just looking for another group to exploit. and with it being a reality show, i’m wary that the participants will even be real divorced people.
but i do hope, like k said, that it provides more therapy than not.

I hope the show is helpful and doesn’t just feed on people going to a rough time. With reality TV you never know exactly how it will turn out.
K’s last blog post..Point of View
I love the idea of giving vacations to people who need to move on with their life but I can’t shake the thought that this is monetizing breakups. It just doesn’t feel right.

I totally understand what you’re saying about monetizing breakups. I’ll be curious to see how it pans out. I thought that the new “Hitched or Ditched” sounded terribly unfair when I heard about it, but the couples on it seemed to be in need of a serious wakeup call. Even though I don’t agree with how they handled everything, I think that the show pushed them into a healthier direction than where they were heading on their own. It will interesting to see how the final product when the show airs.
