The separation from your partner, possibly from the father of your children, is an enormously drastic phase in your life. In addition to all the emotions you have to endure and deal with, however, it is also important to handle all the legal and administrative aspects in a businesslike manner. The goal must be to find an acceptable solution for everyone as quickly as possible. For both partners and the children, things need to get back on track after the separation! I have written down what I consider to be the most important points for you in my book. Always with the goal of a 'good separation' in view - a separation with heart, that is. We as a family have managed - with a lot of patience, and by keeping these important points in mind - to solve this task in the best possible way. I am proud of all of us. And I know today that it is possible, regardless of the history that led to the separation, to make this new start, strengthened and enriched by all we have been through.
