How To Love Your Kids More Than You Hate That Man is not about my individual journey. Every step I took God helped me and my children accompanied me, and their growth was and is my strength and my sustaining peace.  Jesus is such an inspiration. He showed me the path to peace. I was divorced after my first husband had several affairs. We had 2 small children when the marriage disintegrated. I worked toward us being co parents and putting our feelings and disagreements to the side. In the end it worked out great and the kids are close to their dad today. Unfortunately, I knew others who were holding their kids back. This book is for the kids who were held back and the parents inflicting the pain.
