5.0 out of 5 stars Both Practical and Comforting, December 23, 2004

By	Joseph Pellerin (Cedar Rapids, IA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author takes a balanced and practical stance towards divorce and fatherhood. This book was recommended to me by a professional at my 5 year old son's school during my divorce. It was a painful time in my life, and the balanced and equitable tone of the book helped me to deal effectively with the divorce, and also to understand better what my ex-wife was going through.

I appreciated how focused and tightly written the book was - while it was a quick read, it was quite rich in information. Once I finished reading the copy that was lent to me, I immediately purchased my own copy to use as a resource.

If you are a father going through a divorce, I would certainly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for the Divorced Dad's Library, October 26, 2004

By	John Carr (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently got this book to improve my relationship with my son who's four years old. I found the book to be easy to read with good and practical tips and information that I found invaluable. It had many things that I started using right away and they helped improve my relationship with my son from the beginning. The author is both a psychologist that councels divorced families along with a divorced dad himself. He offers both on-the-job learned perspectives from the counselor, dad, and child along with his own life experiences. Overall, I feel the book would be a great book to get if you would like to optimize your experiences as a divorced (or seperated) dad.

By	Benjamin Wilkerson (prescott,az.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Despite the father bashing propaganda garbage that we hear and read about,single men can do very well in bringing up their children,if they have a good reference,like this book.
