Divorce Helpbook for Teens

by Cynthia MacGregor

MacGregor knows that divorce can be especially tough on teens, and her warm and friendly guide offers a helping hand to teens struggling to answer the tough questions when their parents divorce: Why do parents get divorced? How will the divorce change our lives? What can I do to feel less depressed? Who can I talk to about my problems? What's going to happen next? How do you tell absent parents that they don't visit enough? How do you say "no" to parents who want you to carry messages to, or spy on, the other parent? What is there to talk about when you visit a parent who's moved away?

About the author

Prolific author Cynthia MacGregor has had 54 (at last count!) books published conventionally and another over-50 published as e-books. A full-time freelance writer/editor, she works from a home office In Palm Springs FL, just outside West Palm Beach, where she writes books, ghostwrites books for others, writes “almost anything if the price is right” (web copy, catalog copy, advertisements, business materials, and lots more), and edits books, magazines, websites, and “whatever else needs editing.”

She loves writing so much that it’s even one of her hobbies. For example, she writes all the plays produced by the Palm Springs Players, a South Florida community theatre group, for which she gets “no money but lots of enjoyment.” She also enjoys wordplay with an online punsters group, PUNY, and when possible travels to the annual O. Henry World Championship Pun-Off, a wordplay event held every May in Austin, TX, where she has appeared some years as a competitor and other years as a judge.

Cynthia is site owner of both www.TheSoloParent.com and www.ThePublicApology.com and is producer and host of Solo Parenting, a weekly TV show seen in South Florida, whose audience is single parents, whether divorced, widowed, or never-married, custodial or visitational, moms or dads.

Loving her career, Cynthia believes herself truly blessed and says, “There is no one in the world whom I’d want to trade lives with.”

[Dini · Rating 2 out of 5]

Buku ini punya my lovely mom (sepertinya). Tergeletak dengan manis dikasur kamar, hmm tertarik pengen baca jadinya.
Rasanya semua anak pernah mengalami bagaimana rasanya melihat orangtua berantem di depan mata ( saya gapernah lupa semua itu.. ), bercerita ke teman dan mereka tidak bisa menyimpan rahasia. Dan hanya cerita ke pacar (saat itu):)
Tapi setidaknya saya masih beruntung karena sampai detik ini keluarga saya masih utuh. Alhamdulillah. Semoga selamanya :)

Yang jelas buku ini sangat menambah wawasan bagi remaja (yang lagi labil2nya) dan para orangtua untuk tidak menanamkan dosa ke diri anak2 mereka. Cerminan juga bagi diri saya kelak bila menjadi orang tua.
