This 1992 book by Genevieve
Clapp is a treasure. Less about Divorce than about New Beginnings, it concentrates
on the healing process, with practical everyday guidance on getting on
with your life.
There's an obligatory
section on how divorce works, with skeletal guidance on navigating the
legal system, on
selecting
an attorney, on divorce mediation, and
on getting your children through the divorce.
The heart and soul of this work, though is in the materials Clapp provides
for getting on with your life after divorce,
primarily for divorcing parents. There's some really good material on transition
to a rewarding single life, including coping with loneliness. There's excellent
guidance on managing your children and your romantic life. There's a useful
section on how to cope with being the noncustodial parent, including a
helpful, if painful, section on how to deal with rejection by your kids.
My personal favorite is "How to Discipline Effectively and Still Be a 'Good
Guy.'"
This is an excellent
resource for divorced parents who are struggling with the task of moving
on even though their divorce is more or less complete.
