“The only people to come out of a divorce happier and wealthier are usually the lawyers. It can be the most soul-destroying, costly and confidence-sapping experience of your life. Yet you’d think, what with one in every three marriages ending on the rocks, that as a society we’d somehow be getting better at it. But no, all you hear about is squabbles, about pension rights and who gets to keep the dog.
Well, I can’t promise that I can make this difficult time one of joy and fun. What I can do (as a therapist who has also recently been through divorce) is to offer you some insider knowledge that will help smooth the process. And you never know, you might come out the other end still talking to each other!” Vicky Perrett.
What its about.
Getting divorced is never easy. It can, however, be vaguely civilised if you follow the insider’s advice in Survive divorce. Vicky reveals:
• How to protect the children
• How to pick the best lawyer
• The best methods for avoiding recriminations
• Ways and means for handling your ‘excess baggage’
• The pains and gains of becoming single again.
The author.
As a child of divorced parents and a trainee psychotherapist, Vicky Perrett is well-qualified to advise on the subject of divorce. She’s recently steered her own way through the divorce minefield emerging with only a few blast burns – but she shows these off as battle scars! After throwing off the teflon vest and strapping on the stabilisers for a while, Vicky met her new partner at a salsa dancing club.  Hopefully they’ll samba their way into the sunset; but as his divorce is more tense than the tango, she’s using all her skills to the fullest.
• Ways and means for handling your ‘excess baggage’.
• The pains and gains of becoming single again.
