Family law judges are frequently reminded of the price of peace. And the source of it. The peace I speak of here is the peace of mind of children whose parents have separated or divorced.

Dear John,In my earlier letters, I suggested how you might approach everyday experiences differently. In this letter, I want you to think more about the big picture. I want you to consider not where you are now but where you’re going. You know how recently you’ve been thinking, “If only it weren’t for this or for that, I’d be better off.” And, “If only I had been given that opportunity, then…”John, you’ve got to stop laying the responsibility for your circumstances at someone else’s feet.
