more than just a book for divorcing parents with children

I had the adavantage of having ms. Weyburne as my thrapist, so i had the opportunity to know about this book and was very much interested in reading her views on this subject. I was excited because it was exactly what my sister needed at this time. I first bought it for her because she was going through a divorce and was having a hard time dealing with her kids on this subject, but then i noticed in some later chapters, things that seemed to help me understand better my own divorce (though no children were involved). I bought a second copy for myself and gained valuable knowledge about divorce, with or without chilren. I recognized many situations that a person goes through during and after a divorce and was able to use that knowledge to help me get past a few walls I had built around myself. This started with the chapter on taking care of yourself and went through confronting and coping with your feelings, mourning the loss and changing negative thinking habits. Ms. Weyburne is very knowledgable on this subject and used her education and twenty years of experience to write a book that can help parents, going through divorce with children, and also adults that have or are going through a divorce with no children. I was lucky enough to know about the book because she was my therapist, so i am writing this to let others without the same opportunity, to hear about a well written and very insightful book. Thank you Darlene.
