How to Tell Your Kids About Divorce Without the Guilt (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248463206)

The Conversation You're Dreading Doesn't Have to Destroy Them
You know it's coming. The moment you have to look your child in the eyes and shatter their world.
Maybe you've been rehearsing the words for weeks. Maybe you're frozen, waiting for the "right time" that never seems to come. Or maybe you already told them and the guilt is eating you alive.
You're not alone in the 3 a.m. panic:

• "What if I say the wrong thing and they blame themselves forever?"
• "How do I explain this without trashing their other parent?"
• "My kids are different ages. What works for my teenager will crush my 6-year-old."
• "I already messed up the conversation. Is it too late to fix the damage?"
• "The guilt is paralyzing me. I can't even look at them without crying."

Here's what nobody tells you: Most parents make this harder than it has to be. Not because they don't love their kids. Because no one ever taught them how to have this conversation.
