Because divorce or separation in cohabitating relationships is a family event, this book was written for both children and adults. Gently telling their children that they will be getting a divorce, a mother and father share their family story: the journey from their happy wedding day, through the conflict at present and into the near and reassuring future. The book's second half highlights important tips and insights for parents.

Children will:

Learn about the divorce process
Find out that their own parents' divorce is not their fault
Discover that parents divorce each other; they do not divorce their children
Be comforted knowing they are still part of a family who loves them
Understand what it is like to have two homes

Parents will:

Have a framework for telling their children they are getting a divorce
Hear the common questions children ask
Learn the DOs and DON'Ts regarding their own behavior
Improve the likelihood of creating a healthier divorce
Understand their children's reactions and support their emotions
