Surviving Separation And Divorce,   ISBN:9781593372767

Customer Rating: 

My niece is separated from her husband and going through a divorce. This is a difficult time for her and her two young children. I had recommended Surviving Separation and Divorce to her as a great resource and to offer her some guidance during this difficult time, knowing the author had experience some of the same situations as my niece.

You know, when you are alone suddenly and scared, not to mention disillusioned by all you thought you had that really wasn't, it's really comforting to read a book that puts you at ease. That's what I felt reading Ms. Oberlin's book. It was just the right balance of empathy, friendly support, and facts you need to know to make better decisions during this difficult time. The chapter on learning to laugh was very welcome too. I'd recommend for all women facing this and plan to buy one as a gift for a friend I know who is still struggling with a separation and pretty ugly divorce.

This book is a great support to women, definitely no signs of being anti-male. From from a caring perspective, I appreciated the hope of reconciliation offered, and yet the firm advice on what life might look like ahead, carving out a new future for myself. Really enjoyed the lawn care humor and the chapter about lightening up during such a stressful time. In fact, I'm buying an extra copy for a friend whose marriage is in turmoil. It may help her make better decisions, too. Thanks much!

I must correct Tim McWeeney who writes that this is a book about taking an ex husband for all he's worth. He DIDN'T READ the book. He couldn't have. It says so right up front in the introduction, and throughout the text. For all I read (and I'm half-way through it, at least), it's a great support for women reeling in shock when separation is forced upon them. And I see in the table of contents there is indeed information about reconciling a marriage as a possible outcome.

If you only judge a book by its cover, you're missing out. You won't be disappointed if you read this book, I assure you. I know the author is appearing locally at my nearest bookstore soon. I'm looking forward to learning more.

Last week my husband came home and out of the blue announced he was leaving me. I was shocked, devistated, angry, hurt...you name it. Right away my friends and family were there to support me and help me realize that I'm better off without this man. I deserve someone better. I read this book in two days and I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I'm in for a rough time ahead but I know that in the long run my life will be so much happier! I recomend this book to anyone facing the pain of separation or divorce.
