Leaving You… For Me

While there are any number of dating guides out there – books on everything from how to get a man to how to keep him, books which give us rules and books which encourage us to break rules, books which idealize romance and others which aspire to empower us to reclaim and retain our independence – few books speak honestly to the trials, tribulations, poignancy and humor of re-entering the dating pool after a long, monogamous relationship, or to what it might take to muster the courage and mettle to do so.

Alex Delon was 17 when she married and 65 when she left.  Having worked with her husband to build a multi-faceted, multi-million-dollar business which now sustained not just them but the families of two of their three grown children, having been the wife, mother, lover, and partner, and having first lived in denial of her husband’s infidelities and then believed his multiple promises they would stop, at age 65 she finally walked out.

Despite the back-story, Leaving You…for me is neither a rant nor sermon, a tirade nor a pedantic list of rules.  And despite the author’s age, it is not written for seniors.  Rather, Leaving You…for me is a book for any woman seeking to reclaim her sense of self, her sense of humor, and her sense of adventure in the wake of a failed relationship – whatever her age.

Anecdotally sharing her own adventures and misadventures, insecurities and missteps, triumphs and tribulations, Alex makes her readers laugh – and shed a tear or two – as they feel and experience what it’s like to begin again.

  • When is enough finally enough?
  • What does it feel like to walk away from a life partner – and how do we handle the guilt associated with fracturing a family?
  • What happens to family traditions, family holidays, to family itself when we decide to leave – and when he brings in someone else to take our place?
  • Are we expendable, replaceable, or is there simply a repositioning that takes place?
  • How do we hold our own in negotiations when intimidation comes into play?
  • How do we face down dating fears in a world that has changed dramatically since last we dated?
  • Where does adventurous end and promiscuous begin?
  • Is it possible to keep old friends – those you shared as a couple – in your life?
  • How do we define our boundaries?  Moreover, how do we set them in a world in which boundaries seem a thing of the past?
  • What are some of the real hazards of dating – even of dating seemingly great guys?
  • How do we start over as a one in a world that seems defined by twos?

Just a few of the questions Alex addresses in this honest, informative, poignant, and often funny book, Leaving You…for me provides a window into the reasons we stay, why we might finally leave, and what we really face when we finally decide to do so.

You will laugh, you will cry, and as you finish reading Leaving You…for me you will know with certainty that whatever your decision, you have the right – and the power – to define the rest of your life.

Parenting with a Toxic Partner: Helping Our Kids Survive and Thrive Amidst Emotional Abuse

This was my life, my nightmare…

I served as a human shield for my kids. I took the blows emotionally, mentally, and psychologically, behind closed doors. I watched in horror as life was being sucked from my own children. I felt guilty anytime I took an evening out for me. I rushed home any night I was away wondering what nightmare I would find this time.

I exhausted every measure to try to bring peace into these relationships. I reached that point of total exhaustion, total collapse. I had no fuel left in my tank. I reached bone dry, completely empty!

How about you? Do you worry about leaving your kids with the other parent? Do you worry for their physical safety? Emotional safety? Mental and psychological safety? Do your kids hide when the other parent is around? Are they afraid of that parent? Have you watched in horror as your child’s feelings are trampled into the ground? Have you felt that biting pain that you are losing your own child to anger, depression, and fear? Have you stood helpless and hopeless, all alone with nowhere to turn?

I know your pain! You are NOT alone!! It is time to fight for your kids. It is time to help them, to give them strength, and to stand by their side. No more hiding. No more melting in tears. It is time to stand firm and strong!! Join me today as we take a stand for love and peace!
