Your Child & Divorce

The Origin of Your Child and Divorce

The idea for Your Child and Divorce originally came about after years of people saying to me, “That is incredible” or “I've never heard anything like that” when I would share with them how my divorced mother and father were able to create a new parenting relationship after their divorce.

People's astonishment continued when I would relate how my Father still joins my Mother and Step-Father for an occasional dinner to catch up on how their child is doing after more than 30 years after the divorce. I would tell them how my Step-Father (who is a physician) helps with all of my Father's medical issues, and my Father (who is involved with investments) advises on financial matters for my Mother and Step-Father. To this day my Father will take my siblings from my Mother and Step-father on trips acting as a second father to them.

Knowing the uniqueness of my situation, I eventually began to talk to my mother and father to better understand what they had done. Only after numerous questions did I see that their relationship after their divorce did not come about due to luck or chance, but rather through intentional actions and behaviors. They had developed specific guidelines which had helped direct them through the initially difficult interactions involving their son. With this understanding, I set about writing Your Child and Divorce.

It is my hope that through Your Child and Divorce I can share with other families facing divorce what my parents did and why they were successful in their efforts.
