Ellen Shaker has long been concerned about the effect divorce has on our children. Her perspective from that of a child of divorce, step child and step parent and having also been divorced, sheds light on the issues created by divorce. These pages attempt to point out the things that while apparent to us all, we still ignore and do when it comes to the game of divorce. In sharing personal experiences she hopes to convey the importance of how you as the adults can better prepare both yourselves and your children. How we play our own game of divorce is as important as how we finish that game.Ellen grew up and was educated in Cheshire, CT. She and her husband live in New Milford, CT. They have… two grandhildren who are the children of Ellen's stepson. She is embarking on a new career in speaking engagements and collaboration on the subject with local divorce mediators.
