Co-Parenting After Divorce by Diana Schulman
Good book. Very easy to read and without a lot of psychobabble. Just very straightforward, point-by-point, practical information.
What Should I Tell the Kids? by Ava L. Siegler
Complete trash. Ms. Siegler, a columnist for Child magazine, takes Kinsey way too seriously. But then birds of a feather… She spent a substantial amount of time pushing the idea that parents should help their very young children masturbate. In the section on divorce, every single “real world” example (even the ones in which Mommy has another lover) assumed that dad was a loser and everything was really his fault. Of course, she didn’t say it like that, but she paints a pretty clear picture by the end of the chapter. I found her views on parent-child attachments and relationships so offensive that I could not continue to read it. If I had bought this book instead of borrowing it from the library, I would destroy it.
