About this audiobook
Do You Want to Create a Healthy Co-parenting Relationship?
If you had told Darlene Taylor that she’d pack her bags after a rocky divorce to move across the country at the request of her ex-husband, she would have laughed in your face and asked to sip whatever it was you were drinking. But that’s exactly what happened—and it changed the course of her family.
Foreword by Ex-husband Mick Cronin, Head Coach of the UCLA Bruins:
“Nobody plans to parent with an ex. I wasn’t certain it would work at first. But the thought of negatively affecting our daughter devastated me. It motivated me to do all I could do. Darlene will always be Sammi’s mother, and I’m grateful for her and who we are as parents.”
Buckle up. You’re about to find out what happened on when Taylor made a radical decision for her family after divorce—and what she learned along the journey.
Part memoir, part survival guide, It’s Not About Us shares with hilarious honesty her imperfect attempts at forging a new path for her family after divorce. Taylor provides hard-won nuggets of co-parenting wisdom, including:
When to make decisions solo and when to consult your ex
The worst thing children of divorce beg you not to do
How family and friends can help
The surprising lesson from a boyfriend’s ex-wife
The most impactful decision you can make
Redefine your family in new and positive ways—and build a better co-parenting relationship than you imagined.
Because your story can be one of redemption. You have the power to write your own script about the kind of divorce you’ll give your kids, the kind of childhood they’ll remember, and the kind of lessons that will guide them throughout their lives.
Get it with the companion journal, A Guided Journal for Staying on the High Road, the perfect gift idea for co-parents, family, and friends after divorce.
