Description
Once mainly breadwinners and disciplinarians, fathers are becoming increasingly involved and invested in their children's lives. Edward Kruk examines how this changing role has affected fathers' experiences of divorce and the loss of children that too often follows. This book offers a glimpse into the emotional loss that fathers suffer and their perspectives on what is best for their children in the divorce transition. Ultimately, Kruk argues, children benefit most from the love and support of both parents, and we need to ensure that fathers continue to play a meaningful parenting role after divorce.
