Reveals how to avoid depression and feelings of guilt that can cause a divorced dad to give up and lose connection with his kids
Offers ideas for responding to an ex-wife's remarriage, moving, unfounded accusations, and other common issues
Contains guidance for engaging in new relationships and possibly remarriage

How to Be a Good Divorced Dad is practical and down-to-earth and offers dozens of real life examples of dads who have discovered the importance of staying involved in their children's lives.
