*Paul, in Parenting Under Two Roofs said: “Your Parenting Under Two Roofs program offered a fresh perspective to a very emotional issue. At first, all I wanted to do was get even with my ex-wife for hurting me. Now, all I’m concerned about is my daughter’s well-being and making sure she is happy and well-adjusted. This is a great workshop!”

*After completing Parenting Under Two Roofs, Elizabeth and Franklin said: “We are remarried and are a very happy healthy communicating family. Thanks! We learned to communicate with each other and our child better and we strongly agree that the workshop was helpful. We stopped blaming each other for everything and started to communicate in a more business-like manner. We realized how much divorce would impact our child and decided we could do better and we are!”
