I am just starting the divorce procedures and went to the bookstore and saw a ton of them on this subject. Holy Crap! !!!!! Can anyone recommend a good book, one that is insightful and helpful. My heart has been broken, I am raising two young boys and where I live I don't have any family support and have just made a few friends. (We moved here less than a year ago to our dream house which we just built and now have to sell.)

Thanks!

" I just started to read - Rebuilding - When your Releationship Ends - Dr. Bruce Fisher. I was at one of our local second hand stores - picked it up for $1.00 - perhaps the best $1 I've spent so far - seems to be very insightful at this point. "
