{"product_id":"9783593385464","title":"\"I Didn't Divorce My Kids!\": How Fathers Deal With Family Break-ups","description":"\u003cp\u003ePopular culture often portrays divorced fathers as deadbeats who have little interest in caring for the emotional, physical, and financial needs of their children. In the stereotype-shattering book, \u003ci\u003e“I Didn’t Divorce My Kids!”,\u003c\/i\u003e Gerhard Amendt presents the long-neglected plight of the divorced father who is plagued by grief and loneliness after being separated from his children. Based on surveys and in-depth interviews of thousands of such dads, Amendt reveals how fathers cope with trying to salvage their own lives while simultaneously maintaining relationships with their children after a painful divorce.\u003cbr\u003eAmendt’s incisive look at divided families also explores the impact that a single-parent household has on children’s well-being, criticizing the American tendency to over-pathologize normal reactions to familial upheaval. Even the most civilized of divorces, Amendt argues, can cause rage, sadness, potential health problems, and behavioral disturbances in otherwise well-adjusted children. The broad spectrum of experiences recounted in \u003ci\u003e“I Didn’t Divorce My Kids!” \u003c\/i\u003ewill be essential reading for anyone interested in, or personally shaped by, the changing face of the modern family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Campus Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048585773296,"sku":"9783593385464","price":35.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783593385464_p0.jpg?v=1763726544","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783593385464","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
