“This book blew me away. It was riveting and taught me a lot. Dr. Wallerstein does not really profess her opinion on divorce, she reports her findings of studying over 200 people from divorced families over 25 years. She clearly supports marriage but there is a good reason. She sees what divorce does to people. I learned a lot about myself and that many other people from divorced families are just like me. Unmarried into their 30s and 40s, struggling with the concepts of relationships in general, high anxiety about life, and so on. She also studies intact families that had very bad problems but stayed together and what that does to people. It is all very interesting. From the perspective of men and women. But no gay or queer people. I wish she would talk about that a bit. I am sure there were some gay people in the study. The book could have spoken to me a lot more if that were the case. She is based in Berkeley, CA. A pretty liberal place with many gay families.”
