Bad Boys are not good for YOU! Why are you so attracted to them? The media makes them out to be super-studs and oh-so-exciting but they break your heart, if not your jaw. Bad Boys are a manipulative, endangering trap for women. They don’t care about you and trust us when we tell you that your love (or time or a baby) will not change him. How can you recognize a Bad Boy? Dr. Jill and Judge Pam have the scoop.
Why are you dating a Bad Boy? What’s in it for you? Why do you stay with a guy who doesn’t care about anyone but himself? Hey, haven’t you dated this guy before…and before that…and before that? What do you want for your life? Does a Bad Boy really figure into that future? Can he give you what you want? We didn’t think so. Dr. Jill and Judge Pam will give you the 411 so you don’t get stuck with one.
We’ve all been through breakups. They really stink, don’t they? Even if you are the person who ends it, there are still lots of emotions to deal with. Hey, not so quick there—don’t get sucked into another relationship right away; that’s a recipe for disaster. First, you have to acknowledge and live through the pain and devastation. How do you do that? Dr. Jill and Judge Pam will guide you through the five stages of grief and loss—a crucial part of healthfully getting through and past a relationship.
Moving on requires you to acknowledge what you liked and disliked about yourself as well as your partner in your past relationship. Who were you? What do you want to change? How do you rediscover your self, your joy, your vision for your life?
Attorney Lisa Hughes is a founding partner in one of the largest and most prestigious family law firms in southern California. Between the clients in Lisa’s office, patients in Dr. Jill’s practice, and all those who appeared before Judge Pam in court the three gals had a lot to discuss. How do you make a decision as difficult as divorce? How do you know when your marriage is really and truly over? There is so much to consider—both emotionally and financially—when making this crucial decision. Should you take the step now, wait a little longer, get some professional help? We discuss all the options.
Maybe you’ve made the decision to divorce or maybe you just want more information about what you can expect financially and with custody/visitation if you do take that step. Remember: a knowledgeable person is an empowered person and we’re all about empowerment. Dr. Jill and Judge Pam ask attorney Lisa Hughes to list the important questions you should ask your divorce lawyer as well as the type of answers you should expect. With fear and uncertainty running rampant—and perhaps your soon-to-be ex making threats about losing your home, your children, and his thinking he can decide how much alimony and child support he gives you—it’s reassuring to hear the real answers about how the divorce process works.
If you’ve been married for quite a while, the idea of being ‘alone’ is daunting. How will you survive financially? Do you have to uproot your kids? Will your children hate you? What if you’ve been married to an unkind person or he had addiction issues? How do you co-parent with him? Are your children emotionally and physically safe with him? How do you deal in the day-to-day activities of being a woman and mom? How do you grieve the loss of such an important relationship and regain your self-worth? Attorney Lisa Hughes, Dr. Jill and Judge Pam have the roadmap for you.
