5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Carson handles a delicate subject with keen insight., November 4, 1999
By A Customer
Guide to Divorce provides an honest look at what it means to be a grandparent caught up in the reality of divorce. It recognizes what the courts have failed to recognize: that there are some parents who must be removed from their children's life because of their toxic influence. The book re-emphasizes Dr. Carson's assertion in The Essential Grandparent that grandparents must provide the stabilizing influence that often is missing in their grandchildren's life. Even though divorce never ends, Dr. Carson submits, at times it is a new beginning for those affected, another chance at happiness under different circumstances, within new environments. Dr. Carson's observations, examples, tips--interspersed among quotes and borrowed cartoons--are definitely a reality check in a changing society.
