A first look at my new book - Divorce and separation: The Essential Guide

THIS is what my next book will look like. It's due out in the summer.

The 'blurb' is as follows:

Where can you turn when you have to explain to your children that their parents are separating?

What can you say to them to help them to understand what’s happening and that they aren’t to blame ?

How can they still feel loved when Mummy and Daddy are no longer speaking?

Linda Jones’ sympathetic and straight-talking guide answers the questions that children ask when their parents go their separate ways.

Whether you are a parent, grandparent, carer or teacher, Linda’s accessible and warm approach will help you reduce and manage the pain and stress for children when a relationship ends.

Discover how to :

• Find the words to explain to even the youngest of children why Mummy and Daddy are going their separate ways

• Help them understand it’s not their fault and that they are very much loved.

• Navigate a course through the emotional minefield of who is going to live where

This book covers the practical, emotional and physical impact of a separation and accompanies you on the sensitive journey afterwards – through living arrangements and dating, to step families and beyond.

Thanks Diane, you are always so supportive woman! I pitched three ideas, two of which related directly to personal experience and this one, which erm, didn't.

When you become one with another,it is a very hard thing to get threw when its over.You spend years with this person crying,laughing,everything with this one person.Then one day you wake up and its over,no this can't be.What are you talking about this is my life,this is never surpose to end,we are marryed we are one,we are husband and wife,we share the same last name.You just can't see this thing called and ending to life as you were told over the years.Starting over with a new man or woman another what are you talking about,what do you mean how will I do that,and why would I do something like that.Marrage is for life I have been told,how can I see other people,someone has lied to me,about life.I want something done about this right now,someone lied.There is no happy ending,no growing old together,watching our seed grow old as we do.And ther is no swing hanging that my husband needs to repair,its been hanging for months,and hes been saying I will get to it.So you start to gether yourself in one way or another,moving whatever just getting in place for what you ask yourself,a new life,well some one stilll needs to tell me why they lied,because there was no end.Vita M. King
