Getting Past your Anger and Helping Your Children Nov 17, 2009
By Christopher M. Crumbley
There rarely is anything nice about divorce. Unfortunately, children are the innocent victims. Emotion, emotions, emotion. There are so many emotions associated with a divorce. I love how the author allows the reader to explore, work through and try to come to terms with them. She uses her own experiences and is very honest. You'll appreciate her candid advice. This book is meant to be used over and over. Their are exercises to complete and room for notes. You will finish this book stronger and more ready to parent with your ex. You can't parent your children until you explore your feelings towards your ex. If you've recently divorced, pick up this book and read it immediately. If you have friends in this situation, give them a copy. It is a great help.

 How to move past the anger and parent in peace! Nov 10, 2009
By Kat L.
"crawling in and out of books"
Although I don't have problems with an ex or am going through a divorce, I picked up this book to read on the perspectives of having a relationship with ex's with children involved. Several members of my family, as well as a few of my friends, have been through this difficult process. I wanted to understand what they were going through.
Charlie David, the author of "How to Stop Hating Your Ex So You Can Co-parent in Peace", talks about her experiences with pregnancy, raising her daughter, and coming to terms with the fact that her ex was not romantically interested in her. While her ex was a great father to her child, David still felt a lot of anger and resentment towards her him.
In order to move past the anger and as the title says, "How to Stop Hating Your Ex So You Can Co-Parent in Peace", this book has pages like a workbook. It includes writing exercises to get the frustration out, being honest with yourself, and admitting that you too- have wrongdoings.
As I said, I don't have problems with an ex, but I can see this book as being very helpful for those that are.
Wonderful Book About Getting Past Divorce Nov 05, 2009
By Mylinda Elliott
Where was this book over ten years ago when I acquired my ex! At the time and even now there was no book to deal with the emotions associated with co-parenting. Everyone did and still tells parents they should get along and not speak poorly and sometimes worse than that of each other. What people do not tell you is how to do that and what to do with all the emotion you are left with.
This book is a working workbook. It is one of those books which are meant to be dog eared and written it. You will want to return to sections and re use the techniques over. The techniques are designed to release and heal the hurt.
The emotions and feelings associated with an ex have a large amount to do with whether they left you or you left them. Sometimes those feelings have to do with the situation as well. Feelings of anger, hurt, and abandonment are explored in this book. As well as experiencing some of those things all over again when your ex acquires a new girl friend.
There are two parts of this book that I find special. The first part is that while describing the exercise that the author wants you to do she gives very personal examples of the thoughts and feelings she had at different point. The second part is the constant refocusing on what is best for your child or children. She honestly looks at the issue of exactly who is being hurt in the long run. Of course this also leads the reader into the realization of who ultimately benefits from a working relationship with their ex.
I recommend this book to anyone stuck in a cycle of not being able to get along with their child's other parent. No matter how soon or how long you are in your break up this book will help clear your head and help you move on.
