We’ve designed this handbook as a step-by-step checklist to help you and your children survive divorce ...
Step 1
Review the 7 areas of chaos by answering the starting over questions.
Step 2
As you review each question, identify the things that you need to START doing.
Step 3
And just as important, identify the things that you should STOP doing.
No one gets married expecting to go through a separation or divorce ...
Of course, you are unprepared to handle the new challenges you will face as you walk through the separation steps.
Many questions are racing through your mind …
- How will my children be affected by us separating?
- Where will they go to school?
- What if they don’t want to live with me?
- Who’s side will our friends take?
- Will people see me as a failure?
- What will my future look like, and will life ever feel normal again?
The good news is that you do not have to fumble through trial and error for many years to get there.
The first thing you need to do is breathe.
Learning to stay calm and manage your emotions (not suppress or bottle them up) is the first step in The Starting Over journey.
The second step is The Starting Over Handbook.
Sincerely,
Carl Good (Family Mediator) + Ron Vereggen (Habits Coach)
