Your Child's Divorce

Marsha Temlock, M.A.

"The 'dos-and-don'ts' of how to be involved, how to promote healing, without taking over, and keeping the family's (and the adult child's) emotional needs in focus are the central themes in this well-written book. (Temlock's) tender advocacy and loving support makes this book a must-read."

"The enigma of broken relationships and divorce is too often painful and bewildering to all of those involved. This book provides the readers with a practical guide, grounding them as they journey through the upheavals of this moment in time. It is a resource for professional mental health workers to share with their clients and their families"

"This book has many great suggestions to help cope with divorce issues. Suggestions would also be great for... your friends as well as your children."

“...Your adult child's divorce can be hazardous to you as his or her parent, leading to emotional and physical distress, resentment, guilt and even hostility toward the ex. (This book) addresses these and numerous other issues facing the parents of divorcing adults... the book helps families to stay grounded during emotional upheavals and explains how to deal with their feelings of pain, sadness and anger."

“...how to acknowledge, address and cope with your adult child's divorce are thoughtfully explored... a valuable tool to understanding both the intertwined enigma of divorce and parents/in-laws who suffer vicariously at minimum."

"Your Child's Divorce is a marvelous resource and source of comfort and help for that often-neglected yet always-affected group: parents of
divorce(e)'s. Approachable, readable, and helpful."
