Raising the Kid You Love With the Ex You Hate Paperback – January 29, 2013

The book was highly recommended from a Parenting website. After reading the first few chapters, the content and subject fields are precise and truthful. As a single father raising a five year old daughter, I look forward to learn many more pointers to focus on being a good parent to my child. Thus far, I definitely would recommend the book to all parents; both Single and Dual. It is worth the investment for a few $$$.As stated "Raising your children with love is most essential reagardless of the place and time...". Co-parent is always present with challeges. However, patience and discipline will overcome the impossible."

This is a valuable and good book for those parents who are separating or separated, whether at war or not.It's even more valuable for me as a family law attorney. I leave a copy sitting on my desk, and my clients immediately respond to the title. It leads to good discussions about how to handle custody issues. And some of them even go out and buy the book.I do wish it had a bit punchier style and was more like a Custody for Dummies book, but the observations and advice are spot on.

I bought this book with high hopes for some ideas for better co-parenting, but did not find anything I have not already read elsewhere and tried. The book is mostly made up of fictionalized anecdotes, which is a form (I admit) I do not care for.The author also makes stabs at legal situations ("that will get you in trouble before the judge" ) and judgements that are not helpful as legalities are highly variable.It appears over-ambitions, trying to cover all ages of children and all situations. So it does not adequately address any of them.The book ends with a big push for parent coordinators, which are extremely expensive. Many books of this genre assume that both co-parents are rational people who will act rationally, which is obviously not the case or we would not be shopping for books like these.I would not recommend this to parents who have already endured extensive litigated and conflict and are looking for a fresh approach to improving their co-parenting lives.

This book has a lot of good advice in it. It also has a lot of horror stories, of ways parents behaved, ways they treated each other, and ways they treated their kids that were really horrible. I couldn't finish the book because those stories were so upsetting. However, if I were in a situation where I was raising kids I love with an ex I hate, this book would proabably be just the thing I would need to help me avoid enacting some of those horrible things myself.

It was good. Need more advise on how to deal with ex who takes his anger out on the kids. How to help your child cope when your ex is always angry. How to deal with with ex when talks bad about you to our child.

Powerful information concerning children of divorce. Really would help anyone with the ongoing health of their children. How to not let your children be victims of the war between the parents. Powerful if you love your children, what not to do

Brilliant. Practical advice that works.

Okay for people who can communicate with their ex, Not for people with abusive ex partners like David Sills.

Great book really helped me with my situation. Would recommend to anyone who hates their ex as much as I hate mine.
