Adult Children of Divorced Parents: Making
Your Marriage Work - Beverly
and Tom Rodgers
It has been statistically proven that adult children of divorced
parents have a high rate of divorce in their own marriages. Studies
also show that they are at risk in other areas of life as well.
Adult children of divorce, whom we fondly refer to as ACODP's,
suffer more from depression and anxiety, have lower self-esteem,
and tend to tolerate or exhibit more abuse and neglect in their
relationships. |

Nurturing
Your Blended Family: A Special Vocation -
Ralph Ranieri
People who remarry after a death or an annulment and form
a blended family have a special vocation, a Christian vocation. To give yourself
the way that you do in a family, and to attempt to blend two families into one,
is an extraordinary Christian act. "Nurturing Your Blended Family uses actual
stories of people who have formed blended families, as well as data on the typical
characteristics of children and stepchildren from all age groups (including adult
children) to provide a better understanding of how to resolve relational road-blocks.
In a blended family relational obstacles are not limited to the new immediate
family but also occur in the new extended family that may come with a previously
married or widowed spouse. The primary relationship of husband and wife, drawing
strength from the God-given graces of the sacrament of marriage, is the linchpin
and the key to success. |

A
Single Mom Talks To God - Karen
O'Donnell Taylor
With honesty and insight coupled with much gratitude and some regret, Karen
O'Donnell Taylor talks to God about her concerns and struggles as a single mom.
Although some of the experiences around which her conversations and prayers are
written are familiar to married parents (shopping with a teenage daughter or concerns
for their children's future), O'Donnell Taylor incorporates a fresh, positive
perspective toward daily tasks and challenges that are especially relevant to
single moms: paying the bills, redefining the meaning of family and home, creating
happy new memories for herself and her children, and feeling overwhelmed at times.
