Synopsis

"The Divorcing Father's Manual: 8 Steps to Help You and Your Children Survive and Thrive" is a self-help book that teaches both custodial and noncustodial fathers to cope successfully with their divorce in a way that is healthy for their children. This book guides a father through all the steps of the emotional healing process, while enabling him to be a productive, involved dad. The manual helps him focus on a nonadversarial divorce and establish a lasting, businesslike relationship with his ex-wife. Dads are also given practical, hands-on skills that they will need to be successful divorced fathers, and a strategy to sensitively incorporate their children into their new relationships.
