Rating: Summary: Crazy Time Review: This is a wonderfully insightful book.My therapist recommended it to me. It helped me through a very bad time.This book puts a lot of uncomfortable times into perspective. I recommend this to everyone I meet who is going through a divorce.
Rating: Summary: Helped me out at a difficult time Review: This is one of the most compassionate works on divorce I've ever read. The authors explain the fog that surrounds divorce in such clear terms that even in the midst of the fog, it serves as a map out of the fog. Particularly good advise is given to help one understand rebound relationships in the context of divorce.
Rating: Summary: My husband and I agree on this... Review: This is the first book about relationships that my husband and I both find accurate. He was the depressive/passive/DECEIVER and I was the dominant/strong/cheery/DENIER. I can't believe how true the book was for us. I never understood before how a twenty year marriage that looked good to everone else could suddenly fall apart. "Crazy Time" has given me a clear understanding of the rift in our marriage, and new compassion for the struggle my husband has been going through. There are no 'bad guys' here. I'm sad, but I don't hate him. Our marriage may be over, but our friendship and our own lives are not over, and I thank Ms. Trafford.
Rating: Summary: Best book on divorce I have ever read. Review: Thoughtful and succinct handbook on divorce, covering emotion and reaction on both sides from beginning to end. I give this book to all my friends who are going through a break up. This book validated so many of my feelings that I felt were not understood by my family and friends who could not grasp why I wanted to end my marriage. In fact I gave this book to my mother and she gained a totally new perspective of my split/divorce and ultimately became very supportive of me.
Rating: Summary: An Absolute MUST for folks going through a Divorce Review: To best understand the value of this book, let me say it was instrumental in helping me understand that what I was feeling and experiencing in my divorce was quite normal. Since I successfully survived my divorce, I have recommended this book to ten friends by count, and every one has reported back that this was the definative source for their sanity. Over the years, I have purchased four different copies to loan to friends, and much like a chain letter, they seem to pass forward to more people, and not get returned. Rest assured, this book provides the most common sense during the time when nothing in your life makes sense. It will show you the light at the end of the tunnel.
Rating: Summary: Required Post-Divorce Reading Review: Whether you were left or you did the leaving, this book is a must. It doesn't tell you what to do, it doesn't preach, it doesn't prescribe-- what it does is provide a clear roadmap to territory that most of us find confusing and disorienting.There are many stories and examples. Reading this book lets you know that you are not the only person to go through the crazy time. And it's all in clear, plain language, without the psychobabble and counselorspeak. This is a book that provides strength and help in a troubling time.
