    Want to change your ex?

    Well you may not be able to change them but...This practical, common sense guide offers communication techniques that will not only help you deal with a difficult ex-husband or ex wife, but also teaches you how to examine your own role in these sticky situations. This book offers useful advice on how to be civil when the other party is not. This is an incredible book that helps you communicate effectively and be in control of yourself and your situation. If for no other reason you can learn how to minimize the conflicts between you and your ex that affect your children. This book allows you to put your children's needs first. Sure you should read it to find peace in your life, but I recommend you read it for your kids
