Mar 05, Lindsay Person rated it it was amazing. I emailed the author and he actually wrote me back!!! He recommended a Seattle based therapist for my son.
His insights on my unique as everyone's story is situation were heartfelt and thorough. She was aware I would rely on it and reference it daily before I was aware how much I needed to have it! Which emphasized for me I emailed the author and he actually wrote me back!!! Which emphasized for me how complicated the issue is. An unexpected take home lesson was that sometimes talking about the other parents is okay and even necessary.
Not bashing. Just speaking and sharing some personal feelings. Also just acknowledging to our children this may not be fun, it may not feel right or good to them or to us. And just letting that marinate as life goes on. And shockingly it does. View 1 comment.

Second, the book was hard for me because I'm a Bonus Mommy and watching what the kids and their siblings have been going through in recent months is extremely difficult at best. Divorce Poison is not for parents at least not in my professional opinion.
