Publisher's summary
When is the last time you heard about a parenting book–specifically about divorce–written from the perspective of the child? While there are plenty of resources for divorced couples, very few of them are written by a child of divorce.
When she was eight years old, Grace Casper’s world changed forever when her parents told her that they were getting a divorce. In the wake of this, Grace started writings tips for her younger brother based on what she was learning from her parents’ divorce, trying to help him as they went from house to house. Fourteen years later, Grace began the first draft of the book that would be born from these tips, written in the hopes of being able to provide parents with a look into the effects of divorce on their children with first-hand experience.
If you are wanting to learn how divorce affects your children, then this is the book for you. In Dear Parents: Notes from a Child of Divorce, Grace offers practical wisdom, honest encouragement, and opportunities for further dialogue and reflection. Humble in her approach, yet sharp and clear with the lived realities of divorce, Grace provides unique and measured insight that only experience and discerning reflection can yield. Whether you are looking for tips on scheduling, dating, favoritism, or even buying a dog, Dear Parents gives attention to these and many other topics. Divorce can be a scary, tragic event, but Dear Parents is one way in which Grace hopes to show that it is not the end but, in many ways, a new beginning full of hope.

Story
Divorce is the intersection of everything we hold dear in life: love, sex, money, and children. When those are threatened, people get angry. Logical and reasoned decision-making spirals into power plays and finger-pointing and potentially open warfare. Without a clear head, divorce is a lose-lose for everyone except the lawyers. It doesn't have to be that way. Family law attorney Raiford Palmer has helped clients find a faster, more peaceful, less costly alternative to "World War III" divorce cases.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult, or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health. We need to learn to be better gatekeepers for our minds, bodies, and souls. Narcissism, entitlement, and incivility have become the new world order, and we are all in trouble. They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized.

What does it mean to be an adult? In the 20th century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult.

The difference between struggling and suffering. Being a mother is a struggle - it always has been - but your suffering is optional.
