Divorce
- Women 
The Menstuff® library lists pertinent books concerning divorce
from a woman's perspective. Photo upper left "It's just not the same
without dad." There are just some things that a mother can't teach
her son. Without the father involved, the son too often grows up with
a distorted picture of what a man, and possibly himself as a father
someday is. Fathers - stay involved! Mothers - allow the
father to stay involved! And, that's more than weekends twice a
month. See also books Divorce-General,
and Issues Divorce
& Custody.

some new fathers and mothers - one that may prompt them to run
