Bethenny bared her soul in a People magazine about her marriage and bruising divorce, and unfortunately it doesn’t sound like the stress and heartache are over.

"I kind of sway between being frayed and stressed and on the brink in some ways; wracked with nerves, and then feeling OK and certain," Bethenny said in the revealing interview, "This is my life now."

The 42-year-old admits that she had a feeling early on in the relationship that her marriage to Jason Hoppy might not last.

"I felt like there was an expectation to be someone that I wasn't," she confessed. "My marriage made me feel like I was a bad person, like I was damaged, I was dysfunctional, I was never going to be happy. But I don't believe that to be true. Yet there I was — in a relationship that made me feel that way."
