5.0 out of 5 stars A great ' first ' to turn to when the unimaginable happens., 13 May 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Starting Again: How to Learn from the Past for a Better Future (Relate Relationships) (Paperback)
This was the first book to catch my eye in the bookstore when I found myself alone after over 20 yrs. of marriage and was utterly devestated.
It became my 'bible', beside my bed. I highlighted all the bits about how to create happiness in your life, reread them constantly.
Alot of the ideas about being responsible for creating your own happiness were new to me and I didn't immediately understand, it took some time. The chapters on 'what went wrong' were too painful initially, but the right time came and then they made sense too. The chapters on beginning a new relationship are as yet untested!
Since that time, over 2 yrs. ago, I've gone on to read books going into much greater depth on these issues, but this first one that I turned to, and still turn to, has a special place.
It was the turning point for me to look at my life in a completely different way, at what is important for me and what my values are(not my x partner's-not always that easy to work out after a long relationship).
I highly recommend this book, it covers a wide area, from before the break-up, to step-families in the new relationship; so I think that many people would want to expand their reading after this book. But it certainly inspired me to believe that there is a future. If your partner has left, or you have left them, you can make a good life; this book can certainly set you on the path.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exellent guide for the newly separated/divorced, 9 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Starting Again: How to Learn from the Past for a Better Future (Relate Relationships) (Paperback)
Bought this book because I wanted a bit of a guide on how to deal with my two children after my husband and I divorced. He has moved about 200 miles away and I wanted some hints on how to "do it right" in relation to them being brought up in a newly single parent family. The book covers many aspects of moving on - The end of a relationship/Coming to terms with loss/What went wrong/The children/New social life/the introduction of a new partner ..... It explains how children of different ages view divorce and separation, and for those of you who do not have children I would still recommend it as it goes through many "relationship types" and how to avoid making the same mistakes again.

It is in my handbag and if I come across a problem I refer to it and it gives me confidence, comfort and courage to soldier on!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great support, 15 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Starting Again: How to Learn from the Past for a Better Future (Relate Relationships) (Paperback)
I bought this book because I wanted to know that all my feelings were 'normal'. Sarah Litvinoff tells us that all those 'pinball emotions' are just that: normal!

This book gave me a lot of strength during a particularly devastating time - I thoroughly recommend it.
