Abstract: Historically, divorced women have been vulnerable to devaluation. This study examined the experiences of divorce-related stigma in emerging and young adult women, who at the time of divorce were between the ages of 23 and 32. Using consensual qualitative research methodology, (Hill et al., 2005), the authors identified 5 categories pertaining to stigma and divorce: (a) self-stigma versus public stigma; (b) failure, embarrassment, and perceptions of blame; (c) religion and stigma; (d) nondisclosure and impression management; and (e) contextual considerations: “it would have been different if.” Analyses suggest that stigma informs the behavior of emerging and young adult women in nuanced and contradictory ways. Although a significant number of the participants acted in ways that were consistent with the belief that stigmatization is relevant to their lives, when they spoke of stigma, they assessed that stigma is no longer relevant. Implications for clinicians and related professionals are discussed.
