“Be tough! Be strong! Be the better man!”

Divorced dads receive little to no support of any kind, regardless of fault or who wanted the split. Here’s how to change the narrative:

Have you let go of the hope for a “happily ever after"? It can be difficult to accept that the dreams and castles you both built were only ever in the air and not on solid ground.

Does your mind go back again and again to thoughts about what you both did or said and to those fateful scenes that led to the breakup? Was there something either of you could have done differently? Fear, grief, shame, shock, anger, and pain all jockey for head space. It is a challenging time for both sides, but even more so for men who are expected to be strong and show no sign of weakness or self-doubt.

It is time to let go of the unhelpful social stigma and outdated ideas and give men the vital help they need to recover from the stress and pain of divorce. Because pain only makes more pain, reflecting out onto everyone around the suffering person.

If we are to create a better world, then everybody needs to receive the help they need to mend their hearts and grow. In this practical and supportive book written by a divorced father, you will discover:

• What your future self wants you to know about getting through this tough time.
• How to work through those late-night thoughts and heavy feelings that you just can’t shake.
• Simple ways to become more emotionally resilient so that you can focus your energy on the things that matter going forward.
• The zen art of divorce—how to calm your mind and reframe unhelpful thoughts about the past.
