Not for extreme Chaos by Trevor Smith (Longwood, fl United States)  4 Stars
May 20, 2009
This book is for parents with custody communication issues and assumes that people are rational and able to compromise if given the tools to find a resolution. If your case is more of an extreme `Chaos' then this book is not helpful. In my case I wanted to find help in dealing with the ex who lies, creates false evidence, false reporting to police, false child abuse accusations and wants to see me die or go to prison with no visitation rights what so ever and will do anything to see this happen. I can take all the breaths in the world but that won't stop the vindictive ex who has become mentally unstable.
Again, if your case is only communication, this book would be very helpful.
If you are in my shoes, check out Child Custody A to Z winning with evidence and Family Law Examples & Explanations.

Great Book with Practical Applications by Richard A. Singer Jr. (Grand Cayman, British West Indies) 4 Stars
November 12, 2007
First of all, I love the title. It certainly describes my situation perfectly and Im sure many readers relate. This book is well written and contains an enormous amount of practical information that I have been able to apply in my life. After all, books are worthless unless I can apply the information I learn from them in my life. Thus, this title is well worth the time. Highly recommended and remember always to put your children as the # 1 priority in your situation.

The only book you need... by Edith W. (Lynbrook, NY)  5 Stars
July 05, 2007
If you are navigating the gut-wrenching terrain of shared custody with a difficult ex-spouse, this is the only book you will need. A truly life-changing and empowering read--and a welcome reminder that while we may not be able to change other people, we can always work on ourselves. Filled with beneficial exercises and practical solutions to common problems, this book IMMEDIATELY improved my attitude with regard to my ex-spouse, and while we still have a ways to go at acheiving peace, this book gave me the tools I need to be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. Highly recommended.

custody chaos, PERSONAL PEACE by L. Yesitis (nv) 5 Stars
June 08, 2005
I teach a coparenting through and after divorce class so I have purchase several books on coparenting and been disappointed by the same information regurgitated by different authors. This book, while it offers the same basic skills as others, provides a unique perspective that if utilized can lead to personal peace. I imagine it can be difficult for some to read because there is a heavy focus on accepting responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings, and actions and changing your own outlook and behavior to obtain personal peace,(which in turn leads to a more peaceful relationship with your coparent.) The book also asks that you learn to view your coparent differently, as a human being who makes mistakes, but is probably doing the best they can, even providing exercises on forgiveness which could be hard to handle if you have not let go of anger. The book is easy to read, provides real life examples, and summarizes the points to remember at the end of each chapter. Overall, it is a great book I recommend to everybody who attends my classes.
