Reflecting on this currently as I support individuals in the process of uncovering their abusive relationship

This is a quiet reflection on seeking meaningful days during cancer treatment. Toronto based 37 year old woman w stage 4 metastatic cancer.

One of my neighbourhood moms wrote this book, working in family law for twenty years. She shares professional and personal experiences separating and co-parenting. She walks you through the separation process, emphasizing mental health, drawing from strengths from experts and how to select a lawyer. I think a lot of people don’t leave a bad marriage because they don’t know what that process will look like.

Really good, was recommended by a family therapist. So far the theme is to confront one's own biases and feelings, to name them and acknowledge them.

Oh boy I’m in trouble 😅

Hmmm I just started this book and one of the first messages from the author to the parent is “it’s not your fault” …. I will keep an open mind but based on everything I know about borderline personality disorder this may be a somewhat problematic statement.

This book was recommended to us by a highly respected couples and family therapist in my department.

This is the weirdest captivating book I’ve ever read

I think this book needs a trigger warning. So far it has been a very important read, but I do not think it's for everyone depending on their life experience.
