My Divorce Journal: A Guided Path to Moving Forward is a top of list guidebook for separating and divorcing parents. Step by step, with compassion, it walks the reader through the divorce recovery process providing valuable information and practical suggestions to assist with a soft landing.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Pat and David’s book. Having spent my career helping people heal as they move through difficult transitions, it is refreshing to see a book that offers readers the opportunity to deal with their challenging and often confusing emotions through honest self-reflection. I can promise you that the five stages of recovery that the book takes you through, as well as the questions and exercises, will offer readers a journey focussing on hope and healing. Most importantly, it creates a path forward that will lead to positive change. As with any journey that involves healing, the work is hard, it is personal, and it challenges us in the most difficult of ways. Pat and David’s book reminds us that the destination of our healing journey is in our hands and for me, this has always been the single most important reflection: we determine the path and ultimate destination of our individual journeys. Pat and David have shown courage in using their own experiences to act as guides and help ensure that the journey they take you on and destination offers peace and hope. For those that are looking for healing after the difficult experience of divorce, it is a journey that is well worth embarking on.

A thoughtfully written and unusual blend of factual information, empathy, compassion, optimism and practical how-to and how-not-to that will undoubtedly assist those navigating the upheaval and trauma of separation and divorce.

In My Divorce Journal, David Frenkel and Pat Butler provide a roadmap enabling the reader to navigate the difficult road through separation and divorce while maintaining both financial and mental health intact.

It is a helpful book to those embarking on the daunting emotional terrain of such a life altering experience.
