Publisher's Summary

Hi, police wife! Thank you so much for being here. I was in a place of loneliness and resentment as a police wife for many years. My husband and I kept having the same argument over and over: “You’re never home.” I fought against his job rather than accepting it and addressing issues that I had control over. Once I accepted the realities of police life and took care of myself, embraced my independence, and planned for myself and my children, my loneliness and resentment stopped. I found out how to be a happy police wife and how to deal with being a police wife. I truly believe that you can become happy as well by taking A SIP (Acceptance + Self-Care + Independence + and Planning for You = Happy Wife), which is the formula that this book covers.

This no-excuses, practical guide is setup for you to read a new section five minutes a day for 10 days; each day addresses a different topic:

1. Acceptance (A)
2. Self-Care Physical Activity (S)
3. Self-Care Sleep or Lack or It
4. Self-Care The Way You Look
5. Self-Care Nutrition
6. Self-Care Spiritual/Emotional
7. Self-Care Social
8. Independence- Solitude (I)
9. Independence- Motherhood Help
10. Planning for You (P)

Why Buy This Book?

1. Therapy or coaching will cost you $25 per hour minimum yet averages about $100 per hour.
2. I wrote this guide for first responder wives mothering young children. I could not find any other resources that were designed specifically for first responder wives in motherhood with young children, which I found to be the most challenging part thus far in my marriage.

Who Wrote This Guide?

I, Kristen Linton, MSW, PhD, a police wife for 8 years, a professionally trained social worker, and am now a university professor, created this guide. I have used my personal experience, Brofenbrenner's ecological systems theory, mindfulness, and backward planning to create this guide.
