When an adult child’s marriage ends, lots of folks are hurt. The divorcing couple, of course, and their children. Until now, however, little attention has been paid to the parents of the divorcees. Temlock’s examination of this sensitive topic offers parents a friendly guidebook packed with helpful information and suggestions from parents who’ve “been there.” Her five-stage model of the divorce process for parents (Accepting the News, Rescuing Your Child, Responding to Changes, Stabilizing the Family, Refocusing and Rebuilding) will help readers stay grounded through the emotional upheavals they’ll share with their children and grandchildren. This practical manual puts an arm around the shoulder of parents of divorcing adults and supports them through the difficult days of the divorce process and its aftermath.

Marsha Temlock, has Masters Degrees in Organizational Psychology and English Literature. She has worked for more than twenty years in social and psychological services. A feature writer and columnist for Chicago Suburban Woman, and a contributing expert to firstwivesworld.com, she and her husband divide their time between Westport, Connecticut and New York City.

“...a marvelous resource and source of comfort and help for that often-neglected yet always-affected group: parents of divorce(e)'s. Approachable, readable, and helpful.”
—Cynthia MacGregor, co-author, After Your Divorce, author, The Divorce Helpbook for Kids, The Divorce Helpbook for Teens, and Jigsaw Puzzle Family

“...a valuable tool to understanding both the intertwined enigma of divorce and parents/in-laws who suffer vicariously at minimum.”
—Mark Roseman, Deputy Director for Child Access, Children's Rights Council

“...helps families to stay grounded during emotional upheavals and explains how to deal with their feelings of pain, sadness and anger.”
—Chicago Tribune, May 13, 2007

“...required reading for parents whose adult child has made a life-changing decision that impacts them as well as the divorcing couple and their children.”
—Florence R. Kraut, LCSW, Former President and CEO, Family & Children's Agency
