Experts predict that children of divorce are fated to be unlucky in love, as divorce can shatter a young person’s beliefs about the sanctity of marriage. In addition, maintaining healthy relationships with both parents may seem completely out of reach to children of divorcees. In Children of Divorce author Elisabeth Joy LaMotte offers a brighter future, providing readers with five essential steps for building and maintaining meaningful relationships and proves the experts wrong. She tackles issues like the fear of commitment and explores both the trauma and the hidden opportunities of divorce. She highlights the most common pitfalls faced by children of divorce and shows readers how to avoid making the same mistakes as their parents. Although primarily directed at young adults whose parents are divorced, this book is also useful for young adults whose parents were unhappily married and chose to remain together and parents stuggling with the possibility of a divorce.

Just because your parents divorce does not mean that in your own marital relationship that you are destined to as well.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Overcoming Your Parents Divorce: 5 Steps to a Happy Relationship (Paperback)
Just because your parents divorce does not mean that in your own marital relationship that you are destined to as well. "Overcoming Your Parents' Divorce: 5 Steps To a Happy Relationship" is a divorce coping book aimed at an audience so often forgotten in this area - adults. With practical 'real-world' advice on dealing with the shadow of one's parents failure and how to overcome it within our own lives for a healthier future, the advice offered by Elisabeth Joy LaMotte is specifically designed to put relationship worries behind us. "Overcoming Your Parents Divorce" is recommended to the non-specialist general reader with the comforting message that marital success is not circumscribed by genetics or parental example.

This review is from: Overcoming Your Parents Divorce: 5 Steps to a Happy Relationship (Paperback)
Having grown up without role models for a good marriage, I am finding that the author's recommended exercises are very helpful to me (even though I've been through therapy myself). Hearing first-hand accounts of people's experiences has helped me validate my feelings and better understand my parents (and their parents). It is a must read for anyone considering marriage or already in a marriage (even if it is a happy one). Considering the steps the author suggests could only help improve what you have or launch you in the right direction with a new relationship. It will also help those people who are in unhappy relationships and looking to fix or end them. BUY THIS BOOK!
