A friend of mine quoted an author as saying, "Remember what yes feels like." "Yes" does not feel like what I have.
Any recommendations of books? Thanks.

Cherished,
I have no knowledge of divorce books, but will be interested in your responses.
However I was under the impression that you and your H were giving it a go and trying to work on things. Isn't things going well?? I'm sorry, but I don't know much of your story other than what you shared in my post.

WOW,
This is a very hard post to interpret.
Cherished,
What kind of help are you looking for?
There are so many books, so many topics.
Give a little more detail and I'm sure you will get lots of recomendations.
Until then, you'll still get all the ears and advice you want

Books on going throught the emotional process of acceptance, and moving on, and books on helping children.

Cherished,
I have read many books in the past year to deal with getting through my impending divorce. I highly recommend "Crazy Time: Surviving divorce and Building a New Life" by Abigail Trafford and for dealing with children; "What About the Kids?" by Judith Wallerstein. I am constantly reflecting back on what I read in each of these books and refer to them often.

I would suggest "Rebuilding After Divorce" by Bruce Fisher. It's practically an industry standard because it's just so practical and easy to understand. There are exercises--and there is an accompanying workbook--there's even Fisher Rebuilding Classes!

I second the recommendation for What About the Kids.
I'd also include:
* In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart by Ruth Graham
* Second Chances, also by Judith Wallerstein
* Generation Ex by Jen Abbas

For you" The Fresh Start Separated/Divorce Recovery Workbook For the kids" Mom's House/Dad's House (for you to read), and Dinosaur's Divorce to read to them. Also try to find a Rainbows class in your area. www.rainbows.org, or a divorcecare class.

"Growing Through Divorce" by Jim Smoke. An excellent read and one that is easy to read, yet full of wisdom.
God bless,
