SING IT SISTER

A customer reviewer of Constance Ahrons' The Good Divorce writes:

My parents read this book as they were considering separating. It convinced them that there was no reason to resolve their differences, and that our family would be somehow stronger. It absolutely gives unhappy people the unfounded expectation that if they can just be friendly with each other, negative effects
can be completely avoided. In the end it made my parents separation all the more painful for me and my adult siblings, because it built an expectation that divorce would be easy on everyone. When it wasn’t, the only response was to blame us kids, because they were working really hard at their “good” divorce.
