Even if we don't believe in the myth of Ward Cleaver and other old TV
dads any more, most of us aren't really sure what to believe instead.
Evidence is mounting that our confusion about fatherhood is affecting
our children and helping to create a climate of lowered expectations and
poor self-esteem. Throwaway Dads breaks down many of the barriers men
must confront to become good fathers, and suggests new ways in which men,
women, and our culture can view this role in the hope of turning the disturbing
trend around and raising happier, healthier kids.
From the wounded heart of a father who always longed to parent his children
into the mystery of personal life comes a passionate essay. Serge Prengel
speaks for the countless fathers unseen by the cold letter of the law
and for the children deprived of the strong warmth of a dad. A must-read
for all the actors on the stage called divorce.
Braver overturns one of the most important pieces of data on divorce in
the past quarter-century: the belief that divorced women suffer a steep
decline in their standard of living. This widely embraced notion was the
result of misread data, but was transformed into "fact" by the media and
the courts, and accepted by divorced families and their advocates. No
other book has revealed the deep flaws in today's research on divorce.
One-sided studies of divorced men and women, misused census data, and
poor research have skewed many of the assumptions around which parents
and courts have shaped divorce settlements, parenting responsibilities,
and child-rearing decisions. Every divorced parent--and anyone who loves
a divorced parent -- urgently needs this book to understand the new realities
behind divorce and parenting.
All too frequently fathers going through the process of divorce are treated
as if they are cash machines, whose continuing psychological involvement
with their own children is superfluous to their well-being. Robert Mendelson's
new book, A FAMILY DIVIDED, compellingly chronicles one man's journey
through the land mines we call family court, and along the way provides
important advice to fathers facing the prospect of divorce as well as
thoughtful recommendations to policy makers for change. Don't go to divorce
court without having read this book!
In recent years, more fathers have attempted to win custody of their children
following a divorce. In "Fighting for Your Children", the authors help
men who are facing such a battle, guiding them through the entire legal
experience. Using anecdotes from fathers who have successfully gained
full or joint custody of their children as well as from fathers who have
met with failure, this book illustrates the dos and don'ts of waging a
custody battle for children .
According to the Stepfamily Association of America, 60 percent of all
families are breaking up, and custody and visitation issues loom large
in the lives of many parents. Isolina Ricci's Mom's House, Dad's House
guides separated, divorced, and remarried parents through the hassles
and confusions of setting up a strong, working relationship with the ex-spouse
in order to make two loving homes for the kids. This expanded and revised
edition (the book was originally published in 1980) includes emotional
and legal tools, as well as many reference materials and resources. As
one parent said of the first edition, "This book is my friend."
