Conscious Uncoupling

"Now happily remarried, I am building a friendly relationship with my husband’s former wife and their adult children"

I intuitively uncoupled from my former husband in a respectful, kind way back in 2003.
Yet doing the Conscious Uncoupling process several years later with Katherine Woodward Thomas gave me practices and tools to continue to improve and grow my relationship with him, as well as with my step children. 
Now happily remarried, I am building a friendly relationship with my husband’s former wife and their adult children. The things I learned in Conscious Uncoupling have been invaluable in helping me to create wellbeing as the foundation of our “happy even after” family.
