Rachael Gilardi

A B O U T M E

Welcome to my site! My name is Rachael and I am so G R A T E F U L to be the mother of two amazing little girls. Raegan, age 6, is so loving and caring and has the biggest heart. I would not have made it through the past year without her by my side. Madison, age 1, is my little bulldozer. She is rough and tough but gives the best cuddles. Everything I do in life is to give these girls a better life than I had.

I am also a mom in recovery from alcohol and my sobriety is the single most important thing in my life. Without sobriety I wouldn't have any of this and I am forever grateful in finding this path.

Which brings me to my project based on research about children of divorce and the powerlessness they experience. My project is extremely personal to me. My husband filed for divorce one week prior to me finding out I was 8 weeks pregnant and I am currently going through [so far] a two year long divorce. I absolutely hate that my children are affected by it and in doing my research, I discovered the negative effects of divorce on children. I also, however, discovered the positive effects and how to make the experience less damaging for them.

I, too, am a child of divorce(s). My dad has been married three times and my mom was married twice before she died at the age of 24. I have 6 brothers and 2 sisters but we are a very blended family and being a part of a family this large teaches you a lot about how to get along with others. I genuinely believe that has helped in my success in life. In the picture to the right, taken in 2014, this is only some of my immediate family (brothers, sisters, nieces & nephews). There have been four more children born since this photo was taken.
