Wonderful Guide January 16, 2007

When my son and daughter-in-law, with two young children, decided to divorce, I was concerned about all of them. I'd divorced from my son's mother when he was just four, and I'd found it difficult and heart-wrenching for all of us. "ALWAYS DAD" offered support and clear guidelines not only what to expect in a divorce but it also offered a reasonable, down-to-earth plan for how to minimize the pain and actually move forward on a positive and constructive path. I got two copies of the book--one for me and one for my son. The author's suggestions helped a lot--me when I was talking my son through some of the rough spots, and my son in his negotiations with his children's mom and the attorney. I highly recommend this book, not only for fathers in the midst of a divorce but for grandparents and friends whose compassion and love draws them into the fray. And come to think of it, if a couple is considering a divorce, or they feel their marriage is on rocky grounds, maybe they should be reading the book, too. The suggestions for establishing greater co-operation and understanding are very useful wherever there is tension. And when a couple can clearly see the road ahead, it may just give them second thoughts about splitting. I certainly wish I'd had this book when my son's mom and I went through our divorce. It would have brought a lot of comfort to all of us.
Great book for dads undergoing divorce! January 24, 2010

Although a little basic, this book covers many great points. In particular, it emphasizes the need to get past hard feelings from the failed marriage and to focus on the most important issue, the children!
