My name is Grant R Finnegan.
I am a single Father of two wonderful children and have been divorced since 2001
In 2000 my marriage ended and I moved out of the family home. I found this time to be very difficult emotionally. I was deeply upset with the thought of not living with my children full time, as it was mutually decided that it was best for the children to remain with their mother whilst I had access to them.
The early days were tough for me to come to terms with this enormous change in my life. There was no doubt that I had, along with my ex-wife attempted to try and sort our marriage out. In the end and with the gift of hindsight, it was better for all involved that we live apart and dissolve our marriage.
Living away from my children - although having good regular access to see and spend time with them was to me the hardest part of all. Knowing that they were most of the time not sleeping under the same roof as me - was the Father in me struggling to live with this arrangement.
I believe I am fortunate to have a good relationship with me ex wife. I made the choice to do this and so did my ex-wife both believing that it was in the best interest of our children. It made our post-end marriage relationship a little bit easier too.
I spend a few days during winter, working part time for a company that organises coach transport to our nearest snowfield. In this job I work with a coach driver for the day. He drives the coach and I take care of the customers.
During the course of this fairly long day, I spend some spare time chatting to the coach driver. For the coach driver it can be a long and tedious task to sit behind the wheel for many hours. On one particular trip to the snow, I got chatting to the coach driver and within a few minutes realised that we had something in common.
He had just recently moved out of the family home after the end of his marriage. He was a father of a young boy. I realised after we continued talking about this situation that he was struggling to come to terms with the end of his marriage.
By the end of the day we had talked more about the whole situation and I gave him what I thought, through my own experience, some advice as to what I believed was ways to deal with the whole situation.
This included ideas on how to deal with the emotional side of the marriage ending, some functional ideas on sorting his own life out as a single father and how to settle in to the routine of seeing his son.
A couple of weeks later I saw this guy again. We spoke for a few minutes on how things had been going in the last two weeks in regards to what we spoke about.
I was pleased to learn that he had had tried some of the suggestions I had given him and he had found some success with them. In particular – the
importance of a routine for his son, as well as having a chat to his ex-wife about trying to get along for their son’s sake.
On the way home that day I thought how good it would be if I could take the ideas I had suggested to him along with some further concepts – and put them into a guidebook for anyone that is in his situation.
Single Parent – What Now? is a catalogue of ideas and concepts that I have learnt over the years since my marriage ended. Some of them are from personal experience, others are from seeing how people do it completely wrong, and what consequence this has on their children.
We as parents have the greatest responsibility in life, as Mothers and Fathers of children that need us. We need to ensure that even when our marriage ends – our children still have the best parents that they possibly can have. It takes a lot of hard work being a good single parent.
This book is from someone that has the luxury of hindsight of an experience that millions of people around the world will go through yesterday, today and for a long time to come. I wouldn’t wish what I went through on anyone although as long as the sun sets, couples who have had children will split up.
I always feel for someone I meet who tells me that they have recently gone through a relationship breakup, especially with children involved. I then often think of how the children are going and dealing with the situation. I know that if the parent/s are going through tough times, there is no doubt the children will be too.
Single Parent – What Now? is my chance to pass on my experiences, my concepts and ideas that I have tried and succeeded with, to anyone that wants to ensure that they are keeping life moving in the right direction, for themselves and most importantly, their children.
The book can be downloaded right now for only $19.95.
What I have done is learned to live with the framework that I live in as a single parent. It takes time and effort to get to a point that you feel comfortable in this framework - although it is possible to achieve.
Life can give some of us the ultimate gift – children. Life can also give us the ultimate kick in the pants – The marriage or relationship ending and you having to continue to be a good, balanced and happy parent.
Five years on, my life is as best as I can make it - I love life nearly as much as I love my children. I hope that this book helps you through the adjustment of becoming a single parent and your life stays strong and healthy. I especially hope that your relationship with your children and their mother or father stays on the right side of happiness, respect and the desire to get along.
