My Parents Split Up: A Card Game About Parental Separation and Divorce, by Max Nass, LMHC and Marcia Nass, M.S. 

This easy-to-play card game deals with the emotions, anxieties, and concerns of children going through parental separation or divorce. It focuses on many of the problems these children are likely to encounter, allowing them to discuss their feelings in a safe, supportive context. Among the issues addressed are blame, anger, sadness, fear of abandonment, and hope for parental reconciliation.

The playing procedure—similar to that of the popular card game War—is diverting enough to help players relax but simple enough to let them focus on the 52 questions posed on the cards. These questions stimulate discussion, offering opportunities to reassure children that they are still loved and cared for even though their parents are splitting up. For 2 to 4 players. Ages 6 and up.

Emily ★★★★★

My 7-year-old finally said out loud that she thinks the divorce is her fault, and we only got there because of one of the question cards. The game is simple enough that she didn't feel put on the spot.

Benjamin G. ★★★★★

The question cards opened up conversations my 8-year-old had been avoiding for months, and the game format kept it from feeling like a therapy session. We've played it three Sundays in a row now, and it's become our thing.

Samuel J. ★★★★★

My kids actually asked to play it again the next night, which says everything. The prompts on the cards got us talking about feelings I didn’t even realize they were holding onto. It’s simple to set up and feels more like a regular game than a therapy session, which is exactly what we needed.
