My daughter and I needed this

To be honest, my ex husband doesn't mean harm. But over the last few months I've felt overwhelmed, as if I had to juggle way too many balls than I was capable of. My daughter has just entered middle school and I felt I needed some help and this book came to me at just the right time. Cara's insights clearly come from experience and Aasne has narrated it really well. Highly recommend this book.
