Co-parenting can be one of the most difficult parts of navigating a divorce. Depending on how old they are, you may have many years of close co-parenting ahead of you. Your children are observing everything you do. How you treat your former spouse is becoming part of your children’s wiring. For most people, there is a period of 1-5 years during a divorce that has the potential to be extremely toxic. It’s not easy, but you owe it to your children to provide them with the smoothest transition possible.
Andy Heller never set out to become an expert on divorce. Andy had already co-authored two real estate investing books, but had no intention of writing another book until going through his own divorce. Over 6 years, Andy conducted dozens of interviews with field experts, including co-parenting counselors, attorneys, mediators, as well as divorced couples who overcame massive challenges in their own separations. Filled with blunt advice, real-world examples, and 46 practical strategies for better separation, Take the High Road: Divorce with Compassion for Yourself and Your Family provides readers with a well-organized roadmap to a more positive destination, a less-traveled route for navigating a divorce that can heal hearts, prepare them for the future, and nurture their children.
Commonly after divorce, one - if not the biggest - complaint when it comes to co-parenting can sound like, "My ex won't do this, or my ex always does that!" Andy Heller recognizes this and focuses his advice specifically on unilateral steps that divorcees can take to improve their co-parenting reality that in no way depends on actions an ex might or might not take in return."
Divorce should be viewed as a marathon, not a sprint. Andy aims to move everyone involved through a divorce with compassion and care. Andy’s book is a roadmap, not only for the person reading but for their former partner and their children as well.
