Summary:
"We hear about it all the time on the news. The divorce rates are rising. More children are being raised in split up homes. But you didn't think it would happen to you. Luckily, you're not alone. Popular divorce coach Michelle Dempsey-Multack not only survived her own divorce, but figured out how to move on with her life, just like you will, too. Now happily remarried with a blended family, she's living proof that no matter which "firsts" you might be experiencing as you end your marriage, and no matter how long you stayed with someone who didn't meet your needs, your best days are ahead. Mom's Moving On is filled with practical, actionable, and empowering advice from someone who has been through it and has come out the other side. Through Michelle's guidance, you'll learn how to navigate your divorce with confidence, adjust to life as a single mother, and shift your perspective to find your way back to your best self. From coparenting to dating as a single mother, you'll learn how to truly move on and create the life you deserve." -- inside front jacket flap.
