Two-time Emmy winner John Mulaney’s estranged wife Anna Marie Tendler reflected on her ‘harsh and punishing’ year – five months after he filed for divorce to end their six-year marriage.
‘My own brain is well acquainted with the elusiveness of hope that materializes in sporadic and ephemeral waves. I suppose, in part, this is what it means to live with depression and anxiety,’ the Connecticut-born 36-year-old – who boasts 535K Instagram/TikTok followers – wrote last Friday.
‘That said, melancholia is oft amplified by circumstance and the circumstances of my year have been harsh and punishing. I find myself asking, “When will I feel normal?” But in reality, I recognize that the normal from before has expired; “normal” is an impossibility, there is only “new.”‘

Anna went on to discuss the ‘unfathomable collective loss’ the world has suffered amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed the lives of 5.4M people since March 2020.
‘Here’s to all the things we did this year to cope and here’s to all we will do next year to heal,’ Tendler continued.
‘An infinite history of pain and suffering occurred before this time, yet here we all are, surviving and creating and laughing at TikTok videos. So long 2021. For better or worse I will carry a piece of you with me forever.’
The multidisciplinary artist accompanied her Instagram post with two self-portraits from her ‘Rooms in the First House’ series, which was exhibited at The Other Art Fair in Santa Monica and Brooklyn.
