This sounds like a great book. Even though my divorce was a continuation of what I’d already been doing for the most part I still took several parenting classes for the support and to gain a bit of confidence in my ability to be a single dad. From day one the most important thing to me was having my kids at least half of the time and I’m so thankful their mom didn’t fight me over that. I realized early on that I’m a full time parent 100% responsible for my twins the same way their mom is. We have joint custody but I’m always their dad and I do everything I can for them.

Looking forward to seeing the book. I was pretty dissapointed in the library of works available to divorced dads myself.

“…it’s yours to lose.” Well said! I wish my husband was putting forth the effort for our daughter. I’m afraid he’s going to take a long time to figure out how important it is.

I’d love a copy of the book, to be able to read up on the man’s perspective. I’d like to be more sympathetic to his side of things. thanks!

My ex-husband is starting over from scratch on his relationship with our daughter. It’s nice to see another man voicing a similar sentiment.

I’ve been anxiously awaiting getting this book (I’m one of Joels friends on FB, probably because of you, Rachel) and can’t wait to read it and see how it compares with my own experiences.

I’m just hoping, like Joel, I finally find someone to spend my life with now too, it’s been a long time and I’m ready!

Oh how I wish my ex-husband felt this way. Even a fraction of this concept would be nice for my son.

Wow, so glad I ran into this post Rachel. Thank you.

“who often feel cut out of their children’s lives.” I feel this often. I don’t get to see/experience the day-to-day of my kid’s lives. I miss that, big time.
