LOVING YOUR CHILDREN MORE THAN YOU HATE EACH OTHER

¦ 40 percent of children have divorced parents, and about 20
percent of all divorces with children are considered high
conflict—requiring legal and mental health interventions.
¦ This book offers a unique approach to dealing with highconflict
divorce based in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).

In a high-conflict divorce, an ex may attempt to undermine their former partner's relationship with the children, blame them for the failed marriage, and be hostile in general. Unfortunately, this negativity affects the kids, too. This book can help.
Loving Your Children More Than You Hate Each Other offers powerful skills based in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and values-based parenting to help readers take control of their emotions. With this book, they'll develop tools to help identify cycles of conflict, as well as strategies for breaking these cycles before they get out of hand. They'll also learn to effectively communicate with one another and their children in a way that is healthy and productive.
People going through a high-conflict divorce need real tools to help manage the pain and anger that can follow. This book will give readers the skills they need to go from ex to co-parent, and start rebuilding their—and their child's—life.
