There are dozens of books on the subject of handling divorce, but few that deal specifically with the benefits and transformational aspect of ending a marriage. Tonja Evetts Weimer's unique concept of divorce helps readers view their situation in a new way, without judgment, while striving for stability and personal integrity.
Thriving After Divorce will guide readers in crossing to a safe and grounded place by showing how to create an authentic relationship with her partner that allows a continuation of combined goals but not a shared romantic love. By building and sustain the boundaries necessary for new interactions, readers learn how to deal with shared responsibilities involving their children, mutual business interests, care of family members, and any number of situations that require attention. It's a way to create the space for interconnectedness and healthy relationships, while creating an independent, fulfilling life.
