In this practical and sympathetic book, consulting psychologist Jill Burrett shows how parents can continue their commitment to their children to ensure that they thrive - despite the disappointments of separating. She examines ways for parents to manage effectively as single parents, to successfully blend families and assume new and unexpected roles (such as being a step-parent). An author of several books on divorce, relationships and parenting, Jill Burrett shares her extensive experience with families undergoing change to help parents understand what is best for their children.
