After her own separation, Dempsey-Multack noticed the lack of social support for divorced parents, particularly mothers, which inspired her to become a divorce coach. She created an online community, a podcast, and now this book to show single parents that there are better days ahead. Her book is sometimes sarcastic and witty, and always informative. Starting with the hard moments immediately following divorce (getting out of bed after reality sets in; breaking the news to friends and family) she guides readers on having a fulfilling post-divorce sex life and, in cases of shared custody, dealing with kid-free days. Dempsey-Multack also tackles the stressful emotional situations that might accompany divorce: helping children process while parents themselves are still struggling; dealing with one’s own anger at a spouse, as well as with the spouse’s anger; working through betrayal; and changing old patterns that may have been destructive.
VERDICT A witty, supportive, and relatable how-to manual for divorced parents of any gender.
