5.0 out of 5 stars Karen Todd must write from her heart.., December 26, 1998

This review is from: Parenting Through Divorce: The Lasting Effects (Paperback)

I was so glad that this book was available to me, in a time of desperation. Ms. Todd has a gift of speaking through her heart. The chapter on bonding and re-bonding especially helped me through the holidays. It helped us re-connect faster. Karen has given us permission not to hate through divorce, but still be a family in a different way. Thank-you Karen and Amazon for having it available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parenting through divorce the lasting effects. by Karen Todd, June 15, 2001

This review is from: Parenting Through Divorce: The Lasting Effects (Paperback)

I have not only read Karen and Nancy's book, but I have also attended a seminar presented by both authors. I am shocked at the negative review given by the lady from Fla. Karen's book was from the heart ( as was Nancy's) The bash that she gave Karen Todd was shocking. After reading the many times that Karen selfishly let her son go for him to experience the unconditional love from both of his parents was anything but selfish. It was a beautiful story that had coping skills that not only work with divorce children but with children that have moved away to college,gone to summer camp, or moved to a new school. The bonding and re-bonding chapter was a fantastic guideline in helping me understand the adjusting that children go through in change. When I last heard Karen speak, she was proud of her son acommplishments as a lawyer, father, and member of a community. She obviously did something within the 'guidlines' Karen Todd has a heart that opens to all families of divorce, and she has a wonderful mission. I highly recommend both of their loving stories to all families. Thank-you Amazon for having such a caring book available to all.
