Divorce is devastating for children. When parents divorce, it doesn't matter if the kids are three, twelve, or seventeen - it still hurts the kids the most.
One of the worst casualties of divorce is that kids learn this pattern of behavior from their parents. Children of divorced parents are more likely to go through a divorce (or divorces)
themselves.
"Don't Do What I Did!" speaks directly to teenagers about how to tell if you're with the right person, and how to have a great marriage once you find the right person. Some of the topics
covered include:
� Watch out for the red flags;
� Sometimes your parents actually know what they're talking about;
� Making it through the rough spots; and
� Being on the same page.
This book is an easy read for middle and high school students.
"I like to think that even though I've made plenty of mistakes in my life, that I've learned from them. I wrote this book hoping to teach my own children how to avoid making the mistakes
that I made," says author Diane O'Neil. "I know they have the ability to have happy, health, life-long marriages."
