LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Twiggy Bean, Ph.D., wanted to educate others about the divorce bullying epidemic so that it may help those suffering in embittered divorce battles make better decisions and become truly child focused. This objective prompted her to write "Divorce Bullying: An Epidemic - Divorce Bullying—How to overcome a bully, be resilient, and STOP the cycle! Don't be a divorce bully!" (published by Balboa Press), a guidebook that serves as a blueprint for preventing and responding to divorce bullying.
Filled with case studies, diagrams, and easy-to-follow steps, the book shares strategies to prevent and respond to what has become a bullying epidemic. Drawing on her own experiences as well as those of individuals she has helped, Bean teaches readers how to identify a divorce bully before their behavior gets out of hand, fight divorce bullying when it occurs, protect children and loved ones from a divorce bully and prevent from becoming a divorce bully themselves. She also explains that not all divorce bullies were bullies while married. Sometimes, bullying can take place for the first time during a divorce, which can make recognizing it a challenge.
"I've mediated divorces for more than nine years, teaching anger management and domestic violence classes to perpetrators and victims, teaching cooperative parenting and divorce classes, and conducting workplace bullying research for my dissertation. I have listened to hundreds of real-life stories and witnessed the hurt and sadness that causes the divorce epidemic to be harder than it has to be," Bean says. "Whether you are a judge, guardian ad litem, attorney, mother, father or family member who is merely caught in the mess, please read this book with an open mind and an open heart."
Bean hopes that by sharing these real-life stories in the book, someone will become stronger, make a better decision or become kinder and gentler during one of the most painful processes most people will ever experience.
