This book contains the information she looked for but
couldn't find while going through her own divorce when her
children were nine and twelve years old. She offers a wide
variety of sound information from "breaking-the-news"
to dealing with custody issues.

honestly deals with sadness and what it means to live in a
family apart but ends on a hopeful note. The messages are
conveyed with warmth and a bit of humor. Each page contains
practical tips for parents to help them make the divorce
transition easier. This books is written for children whose
parents both intend to stay involved in parenting after divorce.

she's often out of town (sometimes for business and sometimes for
her kids as they are doing fun things far away,) and sometimes
she's just behind in her paperwork -- be it be it hard copy or electronic.
