This book helped me to see that my situation was not usual and it was a good read. I would have liked more insight as to how to deal with certain things as an adult child of divorce. At the end of each chapter there were key takeaways and I found that helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone who experienced divorce as an adult child.

I'm already quite open minded about my parents divorce. I'm a very analytical person and always try to think of other people's point of view. I had known my parents relationship wasn't golden or Magazine cover great, but it was something. And I even have had a feeling from the first fight I remember my parents having right around Christmas that they would get a divorce, but when it was real I still found my self feeling as though I was blind sided. This book really allowed me to move through some of my anger and confusion. I feel as though it also helped me to realize I wasn't as alone as I thought and that my feelings are as natural as they come! It took a lot of weight off of me for feeling guilty of my feelings and thinking "why am I so upset, I'm not the one getting a divorce,"" I'm an adult, why does this hurt so bad," and "I knew this was coming sooner or later." I really recommend this book. It's not a way to get over it but it is a way to move forward in your life while dealing with it, so that hopefully it doesn't consume you where you feel as though you want to cry randomly! As it was for me. Hope this helps you decide.
