Including: an explanation of the age-specific issues that children face when they find out their family is breaking up; professional comment, stories and quotes from children; and checklists and case studies. Acknowledging the personal difficulties faced by the adult who has made the decision to leave, as well as the adult who feels they are being abandoned, this sensitive, accessible guide is a must for all parents going through divorce or separation who are concerned for their children.
