Starting over...it's not as easy as it sounds, is it? But, you've
made it through the pain of divorce, and you are eager for a new
beginning. God stands ready to help-He is the God of possibilities.
As you look toward the future, you may begin to ask questions about
what a new life might look like. Will I ever remarry, you wonder.
Do I want to remarry? There are other questions: How much time
should pass after a marriage ends before it's wise to explore a new
friendship or romance? Am I ready-emotionally, spiritually,
financially? Is my family prepared? Do I need to be completely
put-back-together before I can think about dating again or being
remarried? Dave and Lisa Frisbie have spent 20 years studying the
post-divorce family, and have been dubbed 'America's Remarriage
Experts.' In Dating After Divorce, they share stories of adults who
chose to remain single after divorce and explore why that choice
might make sense for you. They also share stories of people who
chose to begin dating and eventually to remarry. Dating after
Divorce will help you gauge your readiness and evaluate your
options, as you move forward to discover a new life and embrace all
God has in store.Reviews'Everyone who reads this new book will

What happens when the very same system designed to protect children
fails? That's exactly what is happening right now in the UK family
courts in cases of Parental Alienation, a form of post-divorce
abuse. Cafcass define Parental Alienation as 'when a child's
resistance or hostility towards one parent is not justified and is
the result of psychological manipulation by the other parent'; yet
experts, therapists and social workers are not trained to assess or
deal with cases involving Parental Alienation. I spent years making
my case to judges, experts and lawyers, all of whom failed to agree
on what was actually happening between my ex-wife, my kids and
myself. At the time it seemed like I was constantly trying to prove
a negative, to find a new direction to reach my kids, and while all
were promising, all ended in expensive dead ends as my ex-wife
pursued her agenda. If I had to sum up the experience of trying to
prove Parental Alienation in the courts, I would describe it as
being trapped in the backseat of a car while it crashes in slow
motion. The system is not fit for purpose. The family courts are
slow and busy, burdened by the backlog of cases. Once you do get a
hearing, they are often set months away and even then, traditional
safeguarding assessments fail to detect Parental Alienation. The
longer the child is away from a parent, the harder it is to stop
the alienation, and the longer the issue remains unaddressed, the
risk of the children suffering mental health and behavioural
problems increases. Alienated parents also often display signs of
post-traumatic stress: paranoia, anxiety and in some cases are
suicidal. It is my hope that this book will not only draw attention
to the potential injustice in cases of Parental Alienation and the
need for meaningful reform to prevent further irreparable damage,
but that it will help a parent going through a family separation
spot signs before it's too late. About the author: The author is a
successful businessman, loving father and victim of parental
alienation. The author has used a ghost writer to validate his
story. The characters have been anonymised to both protect their
privacy and lift the veil on the inner workings of the family
court, which the author believes is in the public interest of
protecting children from harm.
