Melanie, Annie, and Steven Ford pack lots of simple truths and amp quot I have been through it amp quot advice into this wise little book about their struggles and triumphs through their parents' divorce.
Now in its second edition, with more insights and humor from cartoonist Charles Beyl, this is the guide for kids with divorced parents, from some of the best teachers around-kids like themselves!
From the Introduction for Kids:
This book is a project we have worked on for a long time. We wrote it because we have already gone through our parents' divorce, so we know about some of the things that may be bothering you. We know that divorce can really hurt. And we want to help.
From the Introduction for Parents:
We often talk about a amp quot successful amp quot marriage, but very rarely do we hear about a amp quot successful amp quot divorce. With over half the marriages in the United States currently ending in divorce, we, as parents, know that our children are often the ones to suffer the most at the dissolution of a marriage. My goal through my divorce and remarriage was to make the transition as painless as possible for my kids. I quickly realized there were no guidelines or rules that could ensure everyone would be happy. Although I am blessed accepting amp quot bonus children, amp quot and my husband's ex-wife and my ex-husband are extremely supportive, we found that the adjustments after remarriage are not easy. We learned we had to create a lifestyle that worked for us. Through determination and love, we have broken through the stereotypical relationships many people think you must have in a stepfamily, to make a working blended family with hopefully health and well-adjusted children.
