It's Not About Us

Summary

Do You Want to Create a Healthy Co-parenting Relationship?

If you had told Darlene Taylor that she’d pack her bags after a rocky divorce to move across the country at the request of her ex-husband, she would have laughed in your face and asked to sip whatever it was you were drinking. But that’s exactly what happened—and it changed the course of her family. 

Foreword by Ex-husband Mick Cronin, Head Coach of the UCLA Bruins:

“Nobody plans to parent with an ex. I wasn’t certain it would work at first. But the thought of negatively affecting our daughter devastated me. It motivated me to do all I could do. Darlene will always be Sammi’s mother, and I’m grateful for her and who we are as parents.”

Buckle up. You’re about to find out what happened on when Taylor made a radical decision for her family after divorce—and what she learned along the journey.
