I Want ME Back!

About the Book

Making the decision to pursue a divorce can be challenging on so many levels including its effect on one’s most important asset—self-esteem. In I Want ME Back!, author John E. Long, Jr. offers a philosophical approach to divorcing with dignity and the significance of recovering self-worth during the divorce.

Long, who has served more than 5,000 divorcing clients during his fifty-one years of practice, discusses why self-esteem is the root of all marital dissatisfaction and divorce and why it’s imperative to recover self-worth and dignity. He also discusses divorce law and lawyers, how to know when it’s time to seek a divorce, physical divorce, emotional divorce, and the impact on children. Sharing real-life stories, this guide offers a roadmap for the journey through a divorce.

Part memoir, part how-to divorce, part self-help, and part autobiographical, I Want ME Back! presents the clinical and the humanistic tools to not only survive a divorce but regain self-esteem, restore dignity, and get the best net worth settlement.
