Overview

Kids are told, "it's for the best"—and one day, it may be. But right now, divorce is the worst. With honesty and humor, Anastasia Higginbotham beautifully conveys the challenge of staying whole when your entire world, and the people in it, split apart. Exceptional in its child-centered portrayal, Divorce Is the Worst is an invaluable tool for families, therapeutic professionals, and divorce mediators struggling to address this common and complex experience.

The Ordinary Terrible Things Series shows children who navigate trouble with their senses on alert and their souls intact. In these stories of common childhood crises, help may come from family, counselors, teachers, or dreams—but crucially, it's the children themselves who find their way to cope and grow.

You promised to be together forever!

You BROKE your promise!

We did.

You may want to run.

I’m gonna go out now. Uh oh—why won’t my legs move?

You sure you’re okay?

You may be heartbroken.

You may get angry, or feel guilty.

If you feel all of these ways at once,

lie down.

A good counselor will tell you: This is not your fault. It is never your fault.

We don’t decide our parents’ lives.

What they decide affects our lives.
