To say this year is a festive season like no other is a massive understatement! Without a pandemic the festive period for separated families can be a time of doom and gloom. It is with this in mind I decided to release my current book " The Post-Divorce Recovery Kit" just before Christmas.
In 2014 I published " The Divorce Toolbox" which focused more on
the legal proceedings around divorce, aimed at people who were at the decision-making
stage of divorce or going through court proceedings. My current book looks more
closely at ways of supporting children through the process. I have included a
chapter about " The difficult firsts" where I have shared my story
about Christmas away from my daughter for the first time.
As the festive period continues there is now the pandemic to factor in. If
there are still difficulty with the non-resident parent, it will be even harder
to make decisions and reach an agreement. I have also included a section about
working with the other parent and supporting your child throughout the
proceedings.
Christmas is always a time when relationships are tested, the new year is a
time for new beginnings but for some this may mean ending a toxic relationship.
Once again lock down can make relationships stronger or fall apart. I felt
compelled to finish this book during lock down and publish it before Christmas
as both occasions impact on relationships, in a negative way.
Whether you want to find ways of supporting your child, working with the
other parent, or managing those difficult first I have shared some of my own
practical tips on survival. The link to the book is at the end of this
post.
