Sadly, I did not know this book existed until AFTER my divorce. However, once I read and started to apply the concepts, things greatly improved for my children (most important) and also between myself and my ex-spouse. I have started giving it to everyone I know who is divorcing and urging them to read it.
Non-Custodial Dads Step up!

As a divorced father this book helped me immensely in not falling into the trap my ex has. I never let what is going on with her and I conflict with parenting my children. As far as my kids are concerned mommy and daddy don't love each other anymore that's why they are divorced. THey also know that it's not their fault we divorcedand that WE both love them and that will never change.This book is a must have for any father to truly understand what his rights are, how to handle the divorce with what a friend of mine says, "pizzazz." If you follow the guidelines here, you will be a better parent, a better spouse in the future and not gain a negative view that most "father's rights" group have. This was a joy to read and to implement in my life and that of my divorce.

Healing Hearts is one of the books we use in our training of parents going through divorce. It is very well done. Borrowing a quote used in the book from Satchel Paige, "None of us is smarter than all of us". Of particular value is the focus on children and their needs and the emphasis on responsibilities and not rights.
