Review of SPLITTING UP without falling to pieces
[Following is a volunteer review of "SPLITTING UP without falling to pieces" by Jan Kaa Kristensen.]
Getting a divorce is a healthy solution for a bad relationship. But hoping that things will turn better as soon as you decide to break up or get a divorce is illogical. The divorce proceedings are taxing, and the aftermath of a divorce is even worse. The sudden changes, financial burden, mistrust, tears, uncertainty, and stigmas turn divorce into an ugly situation. There is a high probability of things turning even worse if children are a part of this equation. Can you even come out of such a situation without getting damaged in the process? Don’t worry. Jan Kaa Kristensen has your back. His SPLITTING UP without falling to pieces will teach you to turn a vexing situation into a tolerable situation.
The author uses examples inspired by real-life couples to show the types of difficulties one might face when splitting up. There are ten chapters filled with easily understandable advice. The tone is friendly, non-judgmental, and non-technical. And, the author emphasizes protecting your mental health first. This book acts as a mediation session when people around you are not helpful.
I will rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I can say this book was well-edited because I did not find any errors. The author's advice is logical as it stems from his professional experience. This book is not interested in taking sides; this book is there to guide you to find peace in a storm. Every divorce case is different. In some cases, both parties agree to a divorce. But in some, only one person wants the divorce; in some cases, an affair might be involved; in some, there may be a child with special needs. One common solution will not work for all couples. Kudos to the author for trying to cover all the possible variables and giving proper advice.
Divorce is the indication of a broken dream. Maybe that’s why we see ugly divorces more than amicable divorces. Getting help through counseling and helpful materials like this book is a positive way of handling a problem. Will you become a best friend with your ex after reading this book? The answer is no. This book helps you to work with your ex-partner as a coworker. As the author says, whether you like your coworker or not, you will get your work done, right? Divorce should also be similar for the psychological health of yourself and your children.
Some advice is helpful for couples without kids, but this book mostly focuses on divorcees with children. People who work with children will find this book useful to understand the struggles of kids who come from divorced families. I will only recommend this book to readers who are interested in personality development books/self-help books dealing with divorce.
