Book Cover & Preview Text
I live for my children; my philosophy is my kids come first in my life. I plan my time around them and holidays with them in mind, this has meant saving hard. This is probably why I work as hard as I did when I was getting the marital home together. I like to see my children happy and content, I hate to see children cry or unhappy for any reason. Life itself can be cruel and unjust especially in cases of divorce, I am not bitter, but a realist and can only speak from experience when I say that no one leaves a relationship unscathed and where children are concerned they suffer more than anyone else. Some parents recognise that more than others, some parents are selfish and only see they're own lives based on what life style they have adopted. This is considered as a concept known as self satisfaction.
