Adventures in Post-Divorce Dating
As part of an article that I’m writing for eHarmony Parenting, I started to research dating for divorced parents. Interestingly, while there have been several studies on remarriage and step-parenting and the general effects of divorce on family- very few exist for dating while divorced.

I’ve been reading about several divorced celebrity dads and the varied connection they have with their children. What are factors within the divorce process that make it so difficult (or easy) to provide good parenting? Is the other spouse to blame?

Ask Hal – How Can I Talk to My Children?
This is Linda. I am a single mother of 5 young children. (4 boys/1 girl) I really need to know how to talk to my children.

I decided to search the web, so this is how I got this far. I will get this book when I can. Thanks for your time and I’ll check the download out.

And yes, unfortunately, I was raised by two single parents after my parents divorced when I was eleven.
