Summary: AN OUTSTANDING RESOURCE
Comment: For the men who have trashed this book here, I ask them if they're "four year custody" battles have benefitted or hurt their children? I concede that such legal actions are extremely damaging to children, putting them in the middle of the two people they love the most in this world. Still a Dad is an invaluable resource teaching Dads in this tough situation that while there is much injustice to the legal system, and so much of a feeling of powerlessness during the entire divorce process, that their children are still their children and NEED THEIR FATHER, just as THEY NEED THEIR CHILDREN. It requires the death of the OLD dream of how we always envisioned being a father, and truly developing a new vision to accommodate the new situation. THIS IS THE WAY TO BEST HELP YOUR CHILDREN through this process. It means letting go of you previous notions, and YES - ending that battle with the ex-spouse. It means, learning to live life again, and learning to be happy again, for yourself and for your children. There are so many blessings in this book, I couldn't read the pans of it without sharing how much it helped me through my situation. I was divorced 5 years ago, and this book was pivotal in getting me in touch with ALL of the crazy emotions and pain I was dealing with, and getting it under control so that I could TRULY determine what was BEST for my children.
And for the reader who posted, "For those who truly love their children...get a different book...." you don't begin to have a clue of what this book is truly about, and my guess is you are damaging your children by continuing a nasty court battle that's undermining their security for years to come.
THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ FOR DIVORCING DADS. Yes, it is brutally honest about the emotion...but that is its strength, and it will be yours, too. Your kids will thank you for it someday.

Summary: the truth
Comment: A description of how bad it can be for a father,
depressing. Not helpful. I can see why so many women
endorse this book - I'm sure they would like their
children's fathers to give up with out a fight.
I would recommend: "Live-Away Dads: Staying a Part
of Your Children's Lives When They Aren't a Part of
Your Home" by William Klatte if you are looking for
advice on how to make the best of a bad situation.
Hang in there dad, don't walk away.

Summary: Still a Dad, But
Comment: I ordered "Still a Dad" while going through a divorce, thinking that it would help me learn ways of becoming a better father. This book essentially advises all fathers to just give in to the biases of society and the court system -- biases which essentially turn fathers into visitors. Rather than fighting for shared custody, which is in the best interests of children, this book suggests that fathers should acquiesce to the discriminatory attitudes that keep fathers away from their children.
For fathers who truly love their children, I would recommend "The Father's Emergency Guide to Divorce," which provides practical advice, as opposed to the advice provided in "Still a Dad," a book that from all indications was written by a feminist who wants to perpetuate the discriminatory attitudes of society and courts.
For fathers who are satisfied with the "status quo" of having custody of their children every other weekend, this book is an affirmation of their decision to become part-time parents. But to the father who wants to continue being an active, involved part of his children's lives, this book is good bathroom material -- if you don't have toilet paper.
