Monkey in the Middle Children's Divorce Book Series

Overview of Idea

For each child born today, 1 in 2 will see their parents divorce before their 18th birthday, placing them in the middle. There are no therapeutic book series or videos for mental/emotional healing to assist the kids & their parents. We created the tools & a non-profit with community support. GOOD!

The Specifics: What will the $3,000 fund?

This book series contains 12 books discussing various challenges kids face through the post divorce process & 12 parent companion books to wake these parents up & help them see what their behavior is doing tho their kids. Frankly, it not only affects the child’s development but also affects the entire community (classrooms, work environments, courtrooms, gossip mills, etc) 3 of the books are finished but we need to complete the other 9. We also created a non-profit, plan be, Inc., which has a purpose of donating books & other therapeutic tools to divorce education groups, school counselors, therapists, churches, libraries, etc. Proceeds from book sales & our community came together to help fund this organization. Hopefully, GOOD will too!

My daughter is a "victim" of having her parents divorce when she was only 3 years old. Even though I have done the best that I can to raise her without her mother, she is still affected by the loss of this very valuable part of every child's life. The "Nuclear Family" is STILL the MOST IMPORTANT impact on our lives that we have seen yet, and anything short of that family bond leaves a giant void in all of our lives!
