Dating After Divorce: Finding the Perfect Partner
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) February 6, 2008 -- With the approach of Valentine's Day, many separated and divorced individuals find themselves wondering how they can find a partner, especially if they have been out of the dating scene for many years.
That's why Carolyn B. Ellis, founder of Thrive After Divorce (http://www.thriveafterdivorce.com), and Spiritual Divorce Coach, is hosting a free teleseminar (http://www.askthriveafterdivorce.com) with guest expert Gloria MacDonald on February 12. MacDonald is co-author of "Laws of the Jungle: Dating For Women Over 40" and a professional matchmaker.
The call is part of the Thrive Community Teleclass series. During these free monthly calls, Ellis interviews experts about relationships, communication strategies, finance, career and self-esteem. Ellis states, "These interviews are designed to share strategies to help people discover how they can thrive after divorce."
According to Ellis, to have success in the dating world, there are "Dating After Divorce Resolutions" divorced individuals should follow. One of Ellis' resolutions is "Beware the Rebound Relationship" meaning the first relationship after divorce is "like training wheels on a bicycle." Ellis also stresses that it's important to "date yourself first" before you launch yourself into the dating scene. " If you're not prepared to love and accept yourself first, how can you expect to create a relationship where someone will do that for you?" she notes.
A key question divorced people face is how do you get back into dating? The question comes up more frequently at this time because of Valentine's Day, with its many reminders of past relationships.
Both Ellis and MacDonald experienced single life after their long-term marriages ended. They will outline strategies for dating in the 21st century based on their personal and professional experience. "Single parents especially have concerns about dating that we will respond to on the call," says Ellis.
MacDonald recognized that divorced people welcome help meeting people who could be a potential partner. She created a professional matchmaking service, Perfect Partners Relationship Search Inc, where she has introduced over 1,500 couples. Through studying the differences between successful and unsuccessful daters MacDonald identified 7 attitudes that successful daters exhibit
"One of the 7 key attitudes Gloria identifies is "Belief in the Possibility." Ellis says, "This belief is in harmony with my Thrive Principle of Vision. To thrive after divorce you must create a vision of what you want now in order to pull you forward. Otherwise you're simply looking in the rearview mirror of the past."
Ellis and MacDonald will discuss these attitudes for successful dating, provide relationship tips, and respond to questions from listeners on the February 12 call.

Authoritarian Parenting
Authoritarian parenting was very common about a hundred years ago, when parents controlled their children completely, and held them on tight reins. Usually, parenting has two aspects to it: responsiveness, which includes parental nurturing and support, and demanding behavior, whereby the parent expects and demands high level of discipline and unquestioning obedience. In authoritarian parenting, the parent is highly demanding, but is not responsive. Expression of love or affection is limited or even absent. People who believe in authoritarian parenting are usually very conscious about status, and particular about discipline. They expect their orders to be obeyed without any explanation being given. Their homes are always maintained in highly...
Parenting Through Divorce Is A Responsibility
Parenting through divorce is a responsibility for biological parents regardless if they choose to remarry or not. If remarriage does take place, a parent is a parent forever and cannot be replaced. A child usually remains loyal to a biological parent and will resist an intruder who tries to take the absent parent's place. It is natural for stepparents to feel competitive with their predecessors and may attempt to act as a better spouse and parent. Children usually see their behavior as an attempt to take over and do not like to see their biological parents on the losing end of a contest. Resentment may be the result due to the fierce loyalty to the natural parent. Some children become torn with guilt and loyalty conflicts between th...
