Don't Alienate the Kids! Raising Resilient Children While Avoiding High Conflict Divorce Paperback – March 30, 2010

Eddy is excellent in discussing and helping determine the whole issue of high conflict personalities and how that affects family life. This kindle book had a few problems, though. From reading the Look INside section, I knew how the Intro was set up, yet when I got the book and started reading, there was a mysterious missing section on one of the personality types (narcissistic) that I knew had been addressed in Look Inside. If i toggled back and forth several times, it would appear, but then would go away again. If you didn't know it was there, you would not have been able to find it and it was important. Made me wonder about kindle books and how often this occurs. To my knowledge, have not run into it, but then again, I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't seen it elsewhere...

This book came just at the right time as I was starting to lose confidence in the ability of anyone, both counselors and the courts, to really understand what was happening to my kids. The divorce was bad enough as it was without the added complication of alienation. Reading the book and using it as a reference to try and understand my ex-wife's and boys behavior helped me react appropriately. Now my oldest son lives with me and I get my youngest every other week for a whole week. Invaluable resource for anyone going through what I went through, man or women.

It has very helpful, very insightful advice. This book clearly pinpoints the problems and then gives you examples of how to work around the problems. It isn't a fix all or miracle cure but it does have some really good advice for any parent who is at odds with their child(ren)'s other parent.

This has been a good book to teach me what NOT to do to my children that may harm them in the future. Their father is in a smear campaign and trying his best to say every horrible thing about me possible, whether it is true or not. This book gives helpful information to try to take the power out of the parent who is alienating the children with positive responses and not jumping in the melee and slamming the offending party back, which, as humans, we tend to want to fight back. I am hoping to make better choices and while they won't all be perfect, I am trying! :-)

This book contains great insight and accurate research on the problem of parential alienation that so commonly is forced on good caring fathers in a divorce drama situation. It is discusting how the legal system facilitates the distruction of the family when so many good caring fathers become alienated from there children due to the unwise actions of the former wife. Women wake up and start doing what is best for your children!Excellent book!

I have been struggling with this concept for years and this book has really helped me put it in perspective. Now that I have read this book I feel that I can help myself and my children move forward. I don't feel hugely optimistic about my situation because I think it is a worst case scenario but maybe loaded with this knowledge I can move forward.

Great info although on the wordy side, only half done with book. “Say goodbye to CRAZY” is by far the best book!

Shipped and received promptly. Excellent information contained in this book. This will be very helpful to me, even with 20+ years as a family law attorney and with a background and degree in psychology.
