I realy enjoyed reading this book because it made sence and it helped me. Not only did it help me cope with my child,but also with the father of my child. We came to an understanding for the sake of the child. I highly recommend this book to whomever that are going through a divorce.

Should be required reading for all parents going through a divorce. This book really puts the kids first, and discusses how children of varying ages will react differently to divorce. It gives the absolute best advice for keeping your children healthy both during and after of a divorce. I send this book to all my friends who are contemplating or experiencing a divorce.

I have many problems with the divorce I started 6 years ago. The statistical information, research, details, and background information of what divorce does to families is very helpful. The way these are helpful to me is that they show what the results have been with many of the particular choices that divorces have raised in the past, and what current trends in these are showing.
The descriptions that are given about what feelings children endure are gripping. I came to truly understand what our three have had to bury in their beings. Now, before its too late, however, I have unique insight that will enable me to help them --hopefully with their father.
I cannot write too much about the value of knowing what divorce does to children, how to help them heal, how to take charge of the situation that seems hopeless, and what to NOT do.

This is not the greatest of situations for my famiy, but this book helped all of us make it through in the best way possible. While reading about how to make it 'easiest' on my son, I also learned the best way to make it easiest on myself. I highly recommend this book.
