books ==> second chances
Up
I found this book in a second hand shop during the time that my husband and I were considering seperating after an 18 year
marriage. I found the book amazenly insightful. I saw the truth in what really happens to children after a divorce and not what
the public portrays and "something they will get over." This book made me cry on nearly ever page. I was able to identify with
many things, myself as a child of divorce. I did go ahead and get a divorce but this book absolutely changed my life and my
actions. My ex husband read the book and we attended classes on how to behave and raise children in THEIR best interests. It
has been three years now and even through there have been struggles, I feel I have done the best that a parent can in this
situation. My exhusband and I are very amicable and cordial to each other. His child support is never a day late. He calls
several times a week because we live in another state. He flies to see the children on spring break and they spend Christmas
vacation and summers with him. We never bicker or fight or ever use the children. This book helped us see how parents can
fall into patterns of destruction. We are both parents of our two children, and we feel that even though we are divorced we still
need to co-parent. We discuss their future and make plans together for them. We owe this to our children. Our children have
the right to two loving parents. Because of this book, we have been able to see better ways to raise our children with as little
trauma as possible and give them a brighter future. I HIGHLY recommend this book to any couple considering divorce. You
OWE it to your children.
