"Why isn't there a commandment to 'honor thy children' or at least one to 'not abuse thy children'?" asks Beverly Engel. No one should have to tolerate an abusive or destructive relationship. However, countless adults continue to foster toxic relationships with their parents. Perhaps honoring our parents starts with honoring ourselves. While making peace with a parent may seem ideal, it is not always a viable option, and severing ties with a parent is sometimes a necessity. Engel, who had to divorce her mother for a number of years, recognizes that forgiveness is not always necessary or even possible. This sensitive, emphatic, yet practical guide includes exercises to help you through this important turning point that can inspire positive and healthy changes in your life. With step-by-step instruction and real-life testimonials, "Divorcing a Parent" will show you how to anticipate and manage negative pressure from others, how to overcome your doubts and guilt, how to participate in family gatherings, and how to handle grandchildren. Engel even addresses how to manage the abuse of a deceased parent. While utilizing an individualized approach, Engel guides you through the entire process to determine what is best for your wellbeing—from deciding if divorce is right for you to finalizing the separation. Above all, this book shows you how to love yourself and give yourself the gift of freedom Beverly Engel, is an internationally recognized psychotherapist and an acclaimed advocate for victims of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. She is the author of 20 self-help books, including four best-selling books on emotional abuse. Several of her books have received awards and been translated into many languages. Engel is a licensed marriage and family therapist, and has practiced psychotherapy for 35 years. She frequently lends her expertise to national television talk shows and has appeared on "Oprah," "CNN," "Starting Over," and others. Learn more at www.beverlyengel.com.

If your parents divorced when you were young, you were probably affected by the breakdown fo their marriage.

With this guide, you will learn that the effects of the divorce are not permanently harmful. Find out how to forgive your parents, discover new ways to enrich your own relationships and learn that there are alternative realities available. Divorce experts and psychologists Jeffrey Zimmerman, Ph.D., and Elizabeth S.

Zimmerman and Thayer focus on helping you learn how to build self-esteem, become resilient, establish healthy boundaries, communicate clearly, open up to trust, show love, believe in commitment and deal with vulnerable feelings.

Divorced parent and author Anne Hooper has radically re-written and modernised this vital resource book of the past 30 years to suit the needs of today’s separating and divorcing parents. Ultimately child-centred, this book advises and informs parents on how to tell their children about their separation, how to answer their questions, what kind of behaviour to expect, the best methods of parenting and how to get through the first difficult months. A completely new chapter has been added with specific techniques to show parents how to help children talk about their feelings, assist them to take on reasonable responsibilities, encourage them in their achievements, offer them a sense of being in control of their lives (very important when so much feels out of their control) and give them a sense of self-worth and self-value. Out of the 150,000 divorcing couples in the UK, around two-thirds of them have children under the age of 16. In addition, there is an unknown but substantial number of couples separating after living together who also have children under 16. At least one in three children will experience parental separation before the age of 16. Each child goes through a period of unhappiness but if parented well is likely to be helped back into good communication with Mum and Dad and settle into a normal pattern of development. This kind of book is also indispensable as an aid for parents during a time of often painful crisis. Previously recommended to divorcing couples by Family Court judges, 'Getting Your Children Through Divorce' offers sound advice, coping strategies, psychological over-views and parenting insight.
