Download or read book Childless by Marriage written by Sue Fagalde Lick and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First you marry a man who does not want children. He cheats and you divorce him. Then you marry the love of your life and find out he does not want to have children with you either. The three he has are more than enough. Although you always wanted to be a mother, you decide he is worth the sacrifice, expecting to have a long happy life together. But that's not what happens. This is the story of how a woman becomes childless by marriage and how it affects every aspect of her life. This is the book of my heart, the one I had to write. Ever since I realized I was not going to have children, I have felt recurring grief and an emptiness in my heart. I am different from most women, but I have found that I am not alone. There are many of us childless women, and I think it's important to share our stories about what it's like when you don't have children in a world where most girls grow up to become mothers. I hope this book offers comfort to those who are childless and understanding to those who are not. If it makes you smile here and there, even better.

Learn how to use emotional safety as a foundation from which you parent—and make a cultural impact that could change the world! In Safe House, Dr. Straub draws from his extensive research and personal experience to help you: - Foster healthy identity and social development in children of any age - Win the war without getting overwhelmed in the daily battles - Discipline in a way that builds relationship - Understand how the culture is affecting your child and what you can do about it - Cultivate responsible, self-regulating behavior in your kids - Establish an unshakeable sense of faith, morality, and values in your home - Feel more confident and peaceful as a parent - Find a greater perspective on parenting than what you might see on a daily basis Also includes a Safe House Parenting Assessment.

Pruett shows mothers and fathers why that difference is so important to a child's physical, cognitive, and emotional development.

With advice to fathers ranging from how to speak to toddlers so that they listen, to how to avoid the common tendency to reinforce gender stereotypes in young children, to how to maintain a connection with an increasingly autonomous teenager, Fatherneed is the perfect resource for all dads-including divorced fathers, fathers of adopted children, stepfathers, and fathers of special-needs children-as well as moms who want kids who are meaningfully connected to their fathers.

Download or read book The Step Father s Step son written by Barbara M. Cox and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Step-Father's Step-Son, Barbara M. Cox takes a stand for a man's first wife and the children of his first wife. The laws of this land care for neither except to offer social services that are funded by the overburdened taxpayer.Adultery is encouraged and accepted in this country. It is our most sacred sin. The breakup of the family in this manner is only possible with laws, lawyers, and law enforcement officials. There are many in this country that trust in these "lords" to tell them what is right and wrong based upon their laws. (Even Sarai called Abram her "lord," meaning a highly respected man.) As a result, many children have been aborted, families have been split apart by divorce and remarriage after divorce, and children have been abandoned so that a man can play house with another woman. When a parent divorces and then remarries, the step-parents and their children, in many cases, become the heirs. Our lawyers and their cronies are cursing the parents and children of the first family.Jesus said, "Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy god, and him only shalt thou serve" (Matthew 4:10). It is time that we awake from our slumber and stop letting the "lords" in our land make decisions for us that are contradictory to the teachings of Jesus. Our lawyers and other lords tempt us to do things that we should not, just as Satan tempted Jesus.
