I read this book twice and realized that there are some very simple things that can be done early in a divorce that can help a child cope with the emotional turmoil of a family breakup.  However, this book can also be used to help a child through a crisis of an absentee parent, latch-key kids and other situations where they can feel alone or abandoned by one or both parents.  There are so many things as parents we can do to avoid the rebellious attitudes or withdrawal often observed in divorces.  There are many kinds of family break downs as well as break ups and this guide can help your children and teens survive the loss either way.  It is important to take care of yourself in these situations but children often feel more emotions than they have life experience to handle.  We just can't forget them either.  This book helps you get through this "together."  It's easy to read and understand and I highly recommend this for all parents - not just for those going through divorce.
