How to Go Through Hell... and Do It Well

For the people that have never been through a divorce, it's easy to discount how a broken marriage really distresses every aspect of our lives. Often, a shattered marriage reaches beyond the divorcing family and into other circles and our day-to-day activities. The lucky ones get the fly by night divorce and move on with their futures. But for those of us who invested most of our adult years in a marriage and family, divorce is like shattering a window and then trying to piece it back together. We know the glass will never be whole again, and we start trying to clean up the mess. Without giving it a thought, we quickly reach down and grab the pieces. Yet, we are surprised when we get cut. Unless you slow down and make sure all the pieces are accounted for the right way, moving too fast to pick up the broken fragments after a divorce will only cut you over and over again. The good news is, there is a better way to get through the hell that is a divorce. There is a smarter approach to creating healthy relationships with your ex-spouse and children. This book is designed to get you thinking about your own divorce and current situation. It will help you decide which pieces are worth picking up and how to avoid repeatedly getting cut.. The exercises are not one size fits all. These are exercises you customize to fit to your own post-divorce relationship dynamics. There is no book out there that has all the answers. But this book helps you outline a plan to get healthy and find your "new normal" sooner than later.
