I was in a joint 50/50 custody arrangement with my ex-wife since our divorce but despite that arrangement my ex-wife expressed no interest in co-parenting with me and our relationship was dysfunctional. Despite being court-ordered to attend co-parenting counseling, it was on the bottom of her priority list. I felt from the beginning of our separation that attending co-parenting counseling would have been the best gift we could have given to our young sons, and I felt helpless as three years passed with time being wasted with not only no progress being made in our co-parenting communication but with the situation becoming more and more harmful to our young sons. When I read Karen Bonnell's book I knew this was a person who understood exactly what I was wanting for my children. With our parenting plan slated for modification in the court system, my attorney and my ex-wife's attorney both had actually recommended Karen Bonnell to us as a co-parenting coach and it was an honor to have a couple of sessions with her in person. I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to speak with her in person about my life, my children and my co-parenting situation. Her words are wise and she knows what she's talking about. She knows what the children need from their divorced parents and can objectively give advice to both sides. Despite the unfortunate fact that my ex-wife still wasn't committed to learning better skills in how to co-parent our children together, I still valued the lessons I learned from Karen's book and from our two coaching sessions with her. I urge divorced parents to take a divorce recovery course and to read Karen Bonnell's book for the sake of their children. It takes two willing parties to co-parent successfully.
