“Every parent should
take this class, whether they are getting
a divorce or not. Maybe if I had this class
before, my life wouldn’t be so bad, and
my kids life…too. I am going to be
a better parent. I am going to be
a role model for my kids.” Su,
St. Paul
Emailed to us the
day after class: “Thanks, I really
got a lot out of class last night.” Collette,
St. Paul
“My attorney told
me the classes would be a waste of time.
He was wrong---it was excellent!”
Jan, White Bear Lake
“The instructors
were genuinely engaged with the needs of
the group.” Carri, Roseville.
A woman was waiting outside the door after class, someone who hadn’t attended that day. She said, “I came to tell you what happened. My husband took the class a couple of months ago. I took it a couple of weeks ago. Last week he called me, out of the blue, and said, ‘There are some things we need to talk over.” We went to coffee and talked for three hours. We worked out all the details, took it to our attorney, he wrote it up and filed it, and that was that. (She began to cry and hug me.) “I didn’t think we would ever speak to each other again. I want you to know how much this class helped us!”
This made my
day! Marilyn Groenke
“I felt
really good when I came out of this class. It gave me tools to deal
with the situation. I went home and used this information with my kids
right away. It was specific, gave me details to use. It was
definitely about what is in the best interests of the children. We have
stopped talking about some things in front of them. The handouts were
also very helpful. They gave me a base of information to fall back
on.” Jodi, from
Shoreview “The
“Parenting Kids Through Divorce” class provided me with a great deal of
positive, useful information as I help my three young children heal from
the trauma of a painful divorce. I learned many tips for keeping the
children first throughout a difficult time. Marilyn did a
bang-up job!”
Angela Redland, Shoreview “It was neat
interacting with other people who are experiencing the same thing. It
was reassuring to know that the things I’m trying to do are on target,
and that this divorce doesn’t have to “ruin” these kids. You people are
really good at what you do. I was thinking, you really want to help
people. Here it is, a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and you’re here,
trying to help us through this.” Jay, from St. Paul "Wow...an honest to goodness, real-life personal reply to my web questions! I
appreciate that more than you know." Jody,
Sherburne County
"Jessica was a treasure box of knowledge. She shared so much in a short amount of
time." anonymous from Ramsey Co.
"I like the pro-active approach to topics." Brian,
Washington County
"Being around others who are going through the same process...seeing that I'm not
the only one...helps. Tammy, White Bear Lake
