Otis used to have the perfect family.
That all changed when his parents told him that they were getting a D…D…D… The D Word.
He cant even say it! At first Otis blames himself.
With the help of his Gram, Otis discovers the reasons why people get divorced. He also learns about the Three Cs of Divorce:
- I did not CAUSE it.
- I cannot CONTROL it.
- I’m going to have to learn to COPE with it.
When a family goes through a divorce, it can be stressful, confusing and difficult for everyone involved. In an attempt to make sense of the divorce, a child may place blame on him or herself.
This book helps parents as well as kids deal with divorce, and it includes a helpful list of “Divorce Survival Tips for Good Parents.”
