Deedra Hunter thinks that it is only a tragedy when women are damaged by the custody experience. I have news for her the custody process is humiliating, infuriating, and degrading for men as well as women. Hunter encourages women to see themselves as victims of men and the courts and that a mother’s love is more important than father’s love. From my point of view the courts spend a lot of time protecting women and they have always had the sisterhood behind them. I don’t know how to fix this mess but I am sure this book won’t help.

I appreciate the “Remember to take care of yourself” approach of this book. It’s no surprise, since the author is a psychotherapist, that this is a large part of the book. And it’s a welcome addition to all of the “just the facts” books out there. I enjoy this warmer and largely narrative approach. At the same time, the cold facts are what win your case, so I’d like to see more legal info. This book is a good part of your custody collection, but be sure to round it our with a more legal book.
Two good tips from the author: Dress like a “good mom” in court — leave the power suit at home and look soft and nurturing. Unfortunately, ambition can count against you. Also, be sure to document the father’s visits with the children. Taking pictures with a date-stamp camera (Is that what it’s called?) will show that you are in fact giving the dad the visitation he is entitled to.
I definitely got my $13 worth.

This book has a lot of inspiration but not enough information. I need data not someone patting my hand saying “There, there, dear.”
