Many divorced moms and stepmoms feel doomed to a lifetime of power struggles when the other household is indifferent or openly hostile.

Learn how to master the most common challenges vexing divorce-connected families today:



Instincts - why they're working against you and what to do instead

Support - how to sidestep well-meaning, but sabotaging advice and tune into truth-telling wisdom

Men - how fathers see our interconnected roles, in the words of a man in the middle himself

Expectations - why your "reasonable" assumptions set you up for disappointment and resentment
