Seventy now-adult children of divorce give their candid and often heart-wrenching answers to eight questions (arranged in eight chapters, by question), including: What were the main effects of your parents' divorce on your life? What do you say to those who claim that "children are resilient" and "children are happy when their parents are happy"? What would you like to tell your parents then and now? What do you want adults in our culture to know about divorce? What role has your faith played in your healing? Their simple and poignant responses are difficult to read and yet not without hope. Most of the contributors--women and men, young and old, single and married--have never spoken of the pain and consequences of their parents' divorce until now. They have often never been asked, and they believe that no one really wants to know. Despite vastly different circumstances and details, the similarities in their testimonies are striking; as the reader will discover, the death of a child's family impacts the human heart in universal ways.

This book will help you learn how to GET THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME IN YOUR DIVORCE! This book helps you navigate through the following issues: You want a divorce but don't know where to start. You and your spouse have agreed to separate, but cannot reach an agreement on how to divide your property and assets. Your spouse has abandoned you and/or your children. Your spouse has been physically abusive to you, and you have decided to get out of your marriage. Your spouse has cheated on you. What if we have kids? If you're separated and thinking about divorce, you may have already realized the following: EVERYONE (and I mean, everyone) has an opinion about your decision to leave your marriage. Some friends want to throw you a party, while others may be staunchly opposed. Personally, I am not a fan of divorce - I think broken families are not God's design. On the other hand, I've been there, and have personal experience with divorce. Your emotions may be more complicated than you expected. You may be feeling relieved that you have made a decision to move on with your life, but no matter how strong you are, remember it's ok to mourn the loss of what you expected for your marriage. Hold on tight, let the emotions run their course, hold dear to family and friends that care for you, and just keep stepping forward. There is no "one-size-fits-all" solution. What may have worked in one person's divorce case may not work for you. There are several factors involved in the outcome of your potential divorce, including the length of the marriage, whether children are involved, and sometimes even the circumstances leading to the divorce. Every case is different, and the details of YOUR particular case matter. That's why I want you to take a look at this book. I'm hoping it can help you navigate through this sometimes confusing process.
