MyNDTALK - Your Adult Child's Divorce - Marsha Temlock

Your Adult Child’s Divorce

When an adult child's marriage ends, lots of folks are hurt. The divorcing couple, of course, and their children – but what about the parents of the divorcing couple? Until now, however, little attention has been paid to the parents of the divorcees. Marsha Temlock's examination of this sensitive topic offers parents a friendly guidebook packed with helpful information and suggestions from parents who've "been there." Her five-stage model of the divorce process for parents (Accepting the News... Rescuing Your Child... Responding to Changes... Stabilizing the Family... Refocusing and Rebuilding) will help readers to stay grounded through the emotional upheavals they'll share with their children and grandchildren. This practical manual puts an arm around the shoulder of parents of divorcing adults and supports them through the difficult days of the divorce process and its aftermath.
