Divorce Lessons offers a comprehensive view of divorce, from the beginning of the marriage to the years after the breakup. Young people candidly describe their experiences growing up in disintegrating families and reveal intimate details of their lives after divorce. Their stories tell of violence and neglect, unreasonable expectations and insensitive parenting. Yet they also offer examples of coping and success. There are lessons in these stories that can help parents and children in divorced and divorcing families. The book provides practical and compassionate guidelines to help people avoid dysfunctional marriages and to cope more effectively if divorce is necessary.
