A HUMOROUS divorce help book? Raven: Does anyone know of a divorce recovery book with humor?
Everything I have come across is so serious...Not to say that divorce isn't a serious thing, but if I could find a book that has humor in it, but still is a good divorce recovery self help type book, I would love to read it!(for women)
Re:A HUMOROUS divorce help book? julietl66: Hi Raven,
I haven't come across a really humorous book yet, but the most humorous one I've found is called CRAZY TIME. I did laugh out loud quite a bit when reading some of the peoples stories. Even though its probably horrible to feel this way, it is kind of helpful when you see there are others who are in even crazier situations.
Have you tried searching on amazon or barnes and noble? I do that often, and if I come across anything that meets your description I'll let you know.

Re:A HUMOROUS divorce help book? Metis: Hello,
This isn't exactly what you asked for, but if you want a humorous divorce book for KIDS, try The Un-Wedding, by Babette Cole.
I am a librarian and have found that most divorce books for kids have two perfectly nice people who hardly ever fight but just wake up one day and tell the child (usually just one child) that mommy and daddy are getting a divorce but they stilllllll love child.
(Haven't found one yet that deals well with a parent who walks out.)
Anyway, in the Un-Wedding, the parents really get to dislike each other, but are much happier after the divorce, and the kids are much less agitated. (It is an upper class family, to say the least, so some may not relate to that part of the book.)
But the family stages an un-wedding ceremony which is very helpful and funny. And the kids are very active in the un-wedding ceremony, so it's a good starting point for discussing a break up with children.
Re:A HUMOROUS divorce help book? hopeful: Try "Generation ex" It's really really funny. I laughed out loud so many times. I can't think of the author's name right now. It is a great read....and it made me feel so much better :)
