I am going through a divorce myself right now. I figured that maybe I could see some of the things I'm going through if I read this book. One thing I never considered is the fact that, although my almost ex husband is not the father of my children, our separation and ultimate divorce is affecting them. My son has been acting out, not listening to me and being very hateful for the last 6 months since my husband and I separated. I work so much that i never really took the time to realize that the acting out could be directly related to the divorce at all. I just chunked it all up to his age(Pre teen) and assumed he was going through some phase. Now though, I plan on taking some time to just hang out with him and try to see if things about the separation and divorce are bothering him. I gave my husband chance after chance to turn himself around from the things he was doing, and it was ultimately my decision to end the marriage because no matter what I tried, WE were not trying together and it was just not going to work. My husband is the one who is experiencing grief, frustration and other issues listed in this book, so I will be sending him a link to check it out. Maybe it will help him get through what is happening with the marriage! Its a great book, and especially good for those who are facing a possible divorce or are going through one and are having a tough time dealing with it!
