This is my story. The events described in this book are my version and my beliefs about the events that have taken place in my life and in the lives of my children and my ex-wife. I have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, but also know that with the emotions and complexities of separation and divorce different participants may perceive the events described herein differently. There are two sides to every issue and in this book I am only representing my own response to the events that I describe. My ex-wife, her second husband, and the other persons who are mentioned (but not named) in this book may have different responses. I am only able to relate my perspective and my interpretation of those events. It is my intent to recount the facts as I recall them and my own personal emotions and feelings in reaction to those events.
The events described in this book are included solely for the purpose of providing the reader with the context necessary to examine and contemplate the effects that Parent Wars have on children who experience parent separation.
