Divorce
- Women
The Menstuff® library lists pertinent books concerning divorce
from a woman's perspective. Photo upper left "It's just not the same
without dad." There are just some things that a mother can't teach
her son. Without the father involved, the son too often grows up with
a distorted picture of what a man, and possibly himself as a father
someday is. Fathers - stay involved! Mothers - allow the
father to stay involved! And, that's more than weekends twice a
month. See also books Divorce-General,
and Issues Divorce
& Custody.

Should Know: Answers to the most intimate questions formerly
married women ask, David McKay, 1973

children & custody, McGraw Hill, 1986
Hoge, Hilary, Women's Stories of Divorce at
Childbirth: When the baby rocks the cradle. This landmark
book examines the causes and consequences of divorce occuring
during pregnancy or within a year of childbirth. Drawing upon the
experiences of seventeen women who have suffered this especially
traumatic form of family breakup, the author shows in stark detail
how the transition to parenthood can become a personal crisis for
some new fathers and mothers - one that may prompt them to run
away, search out extramarital affairs, or lapse into additions.
