Dads: The Myths and Barriers That Keep Men from Being
the Fathers They Want to Be
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.

Divorced
Dads : Shattering the Myths
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.

Family Divided : A Divorced Father's Struggle With the

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!
