Almost 50% of American marriages end in divorce, so it stands to reason that most people have experienced the effects of divorce in some way. Breaking up is hard to do, but the rocky road can be smoothed out with a little help from your friends — hundreds of them! This book offers the support of real people who have "been there, done that," with insightful, eye-opening stories and advice on separation, helping children cope, dealing with unfriendly in-laws, legal wrangling, and maintaining a relationship with your ex.
