Description

Many divorced moms and stepmoms feel doomed to a lifetime of power struggles when the other household is indifferent or openly hostile. Skirts at War is a reassuring and playful hands-on guide to thriving as a stepparent, remarried mom or single parent, even if the other side won't meet you halfway. Learn how to master the most common challenges vexing divorce-connected families today: 

Instincts - why they're working against you and what to do instead 
Support - how to sidestep well-meaning, but sabotaging advice and tune into truth-telling wisdom 
Men - how fathers see our interconnected roles, in the words of a man in the middle himself 
Expectations - why your "reasonable" assumptions set you up for disappointment and resentment 
Self-Worth - why old issues from your past are easily triggered and how to desensitize them 
Boundaries - how to transfer responsibilities to the right shoulders and stop overdoing 

Divided into three user-friendly sections for quick reference: Problems, Power Tools and Making Progress, it also includes: 
* over 100 comments from community members, eager to share their hard-won insights 
* 20 interactive quizzes, assessments and how-tos 
* 60 journal questions designed to easily move you forward 
* over 100 affirming mantras to ground and center you 
* a chapter by Mario Korf written directly to divorced fathers 
* how to join our online community for free PDFs and exclusive material, connect with new friends reading the book and create your own private blog or journal
