Divorce Help

I feel like I am almost repeating myself, but I am not. Many months ago, or years actually, I wrote about the importance of looking at the credentials of Self-Help book authors and now I stretch that to blogs and Facebook. It's not that I have personally walked the walk but I have several years of divorce counseling. Divorce is pandemic and I work with it daily in most of my cases. Seems everyone is affected by divorce since it's rampant. Well, because of the work that I do, I am always coming across books, blogs and just general information about divorce. It almost seems that anyone now can have a blog or facebook page and speak as an expert. Please be careful, there are many books, movies, blogs written on a very superficial manner based on the writer's experience through divorce. They may be at any stage and may not have done the "work " or healed but they decide to write and make opinions and recommendations. I do not want to sound like a snob, that is not my intention. It does concern me that people can make comments based on what they lived or are living and believe it is like that for everyone. I have come across some blogs that I have found insentitive. I do blog and have a facebook page but I try to write as a professional who works with clients and also reads reseach and attends conferences. The blogs that bother me are the " I lived it" "so I know" It bothers me and you have to be careful, read about the author's credentials.

  1. So, I wrote this and today a man kills his wife and posts a picture of her deceased, bloody body on his facebook page. Ready, for this? The man wrote/self- published self help books on communication and marriage.

  2. Divorce is a panic process as strong emotions of anger can remain for years. In many divorcing couples, the most painful part of divorce is that it can bring the loss of self esteem. So, I think the best way is to sort out all issues with the help of divorce mediation. For more information, visit at http://thedivorcecompany.ca/mediation-2/

  3. I went through a divorce two years ago. Wanting to be adults about it, my ex and I decided on mediation instead of a long drawn out court proceeding. Equitable Mediation Services
