5.0 out of 5 stars Divorce Is About You, Not About "What Your Ex- Did", March 4, 2006

This review is from: The New Creative Divorce: How to Create a Happier, More Rewarding Life During--And After--Your Divorce (Paperback)

So you've been dumped. That means the divorce is all his/her fault, right? Wrong! Being dumped means you've got an opportunity to grow and be happy in a new relationship with someone who actually loves you.

This is a book about getting over it!!!

Creative Divorce also gets into creating a relationship with your ex- that isn't toxic. For children, parents who can talk civilly is critical. For you, getting over the divorce is critical, too, because playing the injured victim is just too time-consuming.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much useful information here, September 29, 2003

Paul Skinner (Manassas, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Creative Divorce: How to Create a Happier, More Rewarding Life During--And After--Your Divorce (Paperback)

If you want to believe you and your spouse share a 50/50 split in the "blame" for your marriage breaking up, then this is the book for you. Most people are not in that situation, however. In almost 80% of all divorces, one party is dumping the other, and the dumpee is the one seeking guidance from books like this - but this book doesn't help the typical dumpee.

About the only thing I thought was worth understanding from this book is that the best way of "getting even" is living well. But is "getting even" the goal? Seems shallow to me.
