    About this audiobook

    Thoroughly revised and updated for a new generation, the essential guide for men and women to help them weather the turmoil of divorce and build rich, rewarding lives.

    There is nothing easy about the breakup of a marriage, from coping with loss and failure to dealing with the uncertainty of the future. In this intelligent and insightful book, Abigail Trafford charts this emotional journey, identifying the common phases in the evolution from marriage to separation to divorce, and eventually to a new life.

    Based upon her personal experience, extensive research, and interviews with hundreds of divorced men and women, Trafford offers individuals a better understanding of their own experiences and the message that they are not alone in their pain and confusion. Crazy Time is also an investment in the future — Trafford reveals the telltale signs of a marriage in crisis, and discusses what determines whether a relationship will survive over time.

    This revised edition includes the most up-to-date research on the personal and economic effects of divorce in adults and children's lives, addresses the special challenges of becoming single again in the age of the Internet, and broadens the experience of divorce to the breakup of all committed relationships. For anyone who has divorced or is considering taking that step, Crazy Time offers a sense of hope and confidence that this transition is not only an ending but can also be a valuable beginning.

      I saw major excusing for cheating in this book. She starts by bashing a husband’s wife, then talks about his cheating. Blaming the spouse or relationship for cheating is a very destructive narrative when if someone is unhappy they can address it versus break vows.

      I read this book some time ago, but I continue to recommend it for anybody going through a divorce. It gives a framework that helps one understand what went wrong. Its descriptions of what to expect and common emotions during divorce can be profoundly reassuring to a person who fears that what they are feeling is 'wrong' or out of proportion.

      This is another book on my 'coping-with-my-divorce' list. It was the first book I read as I filed for divorce and it kept me grounded and realistic about the bumpy, painful road I was going to be traveling for awhile. I needed the affirmation that it was a crazy time and that was okay.

      Getting divorced feels like going crazy. Nothing in the world seems right. This book can help you feel like what you are going through is normal (which it is).

      Although divorce can be an embarrassing, humiliating, traitorous, and vindictive event in a person’s life; it is often a necessary end to a toxic relationship. This book describes the various stages of divorce and provides examples of various men and women’s battles through the trenches of separation. Most of the separations were based on the traditional cheating/lying scenario. There was a lack of alternative situations such as abuse, mental illness, and abandonment. However, the author provided a detailed outline of the emotional stages that occur through the process of divorce and the grieving that happens with most people while separated from their spouses. I found this book to be very helpful with my current situation. I like thousands of other people in the country find myself going through a divorce. Although I am not divorcing for the traditional reasons that were discussed in the book, I still found the author’s information quite useful. It is a sad day to see that so many people are losing their marriages to infidelities and immaturity. No longer are people able to stay in marriages for fifty years and be true to one another. The internet, Facebook, and Youtube have helped destroy the modern marriage; while young people are too ignorant to see it. People are in love with the idea of being married, but they don’t want to stay in a house where there are rules that require commitment. This book is an example that society has fallen to the wayside and this author provides a guide that allows those that have been broke by the stupidity of others a way back.
