Abstract | "Popular culture often portrays divorced fathers as deadbeats who have little interest in caring for the emotional, physical, and financial needs of their children. In the stereotype-shattering book, the author presents the long-neglected plight of the divorced father who is plagued by grief and loneliness after being separated from his children. Based on surveys and in-depth interviews of thousands of such dads, the author reveals how fathers cope with trying to salvage their own lives while simultaneously maintaining relationships with their children after a painful divorce. His incisive look at divided families also explores the impact that a single-parent household has on children's well-being, criticizing the American tendency to over-pathologize normal reactions to familial upheaval. Even the most civilized of divorces, the author argues, can cause rage, sadness, potential health problems, and behavioral disturbances in otherwise well-adjusted children." (author's abstract). |
