I have massive trust issues, and I have post-traumatic stress disorder. It was literally the most traumatizing thing I will hopefully ever go through in my life,”*** [Bethenny Frankel](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-york/bethenny-frankel/) said on Thursday’s episode of her [“Just B” podcast.](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-my-divorce-chapter-1/id1652108126?i=1000652102174) The 53-year-old called her 10-year divorce from ex-husband [Jason Hoppy](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/07/19/bethenny-frankel-andy-cohen-jason/)***“more tortuous”*** than grieving the death of a loved one. ***“I thought I would never survive it. I did not see a way out,”*** she continued. ***“It was suffocating. I thought I was gonna be miserable for the rest of my life.”*** ![Bethenny Frankel and ex-husband, Jason Hoppy.](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/jason-hoppy-online-dating-bethenny-frankel-divorce.jpg)Bethenny Frankel and ex-husband, Jason Hoppy. Bethenny Frankel then referred to her lengthy divorce as*** “mental and emotional torture”*** before claiming that it made her a ***“powerless, tortured”*** individual. ***“I have had every single f–king thing except for physical abuse done to me, and I am an expert on this topic,”*** she claimed. The Skinnygirl mogul listed off just some of the things she allegedly dealt with throughout her ten year divorce including ***“fraud,” “forgery,” “multiple trials on custody,” “being followed”*** and ***“allegedly being hacked.”*** ***“I have been through a f–king war –– a war. I have questioned myself as a human, as a parent, because I was told so many times otherwise how terrible I was and disgusting and old and irrelevant and so abused, because I had no power to get out of it,”*** she said before explaining that she finally feels ***"ready"*** to begin discussing*** “something that has been impossible to talk about”*** for years. The RHONY alum plans to discuss the inside details on her divorce and what she experienced in a series of podcast episodes. ***“How a person who is so smart and so successful could make such poor judgement calls and decisions or just not know or just have a bad hand, but it’s been a journey, so I’m ready to discuss it,”*** she added. Bethenny Frankel also revealed that her and Jason Hoppy's daughter, [Brynn](https://allabouttrh.com/2014/05/12/bethenny-frankel-and-ex-husband-jason-hoppy-awkwardly-come-together-for-daughter-bryn-s-birthday/), now 13,*** “knows all about”*** the details of their ugly divorce, which is why she feels she can ***“thoughtfully and carefully”*** share it with the public. She admitted that the trauma from her divorce with Jason Hoppy has affected her love life with [fiancé Paul Bernon](https://allabouttrh.com/2021/04/25/report-bethenny-frankel-wants-80-million-prenup-before-marrying-boyfriend-paul-bernon-planning-an-elaborate10m-wedding/), who she has been with since 2018. ![Bethenny Frankel, her fiancé Paul Bernon, and ex-husband, Jason Hoppy. ](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/bethenny-frankel-paul-bernon-jason-hoppy-rhony.png)Bethenny Frankel, her fiancé Paul Bernon, and ex-husband, Jason Hoppy. ***“It’s why I have not gotten married again, or I’m not sure if I would ever get married again,”*** she shared. Bethenny and Jason tied the knot in March 2010. They announced their separation in December 2012 with Bethenny officially filing for divorce a month later. Over the next decade the two battled it out in court over custody of Brynn and finances. They reached a financial settlement in 2016 but their divorce was not finalized until January 2021. By December of that year, Bethenny had gained full legal and physical custody of Brynn and was [no longer required to pay Jason child support](https://allabouttrh.com/2021/12/09/bethenny-frankel-no-longer-has-to-pay-child-support-to-ex-husband-jason-hoppy/). *[The Real Housewives of New York](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-york/)* will return to Bravo for season 15 in late to mid-2024. ## Thoughts on this all?
