When Dad Hurt Mom

If there are any women out there like me, that are, or have gone through some of the worst things in life with abuse. This book is for you. It is well worth every penny.

An excellent book

This book should be read by every family therapist, as it provides insights into how abusive partners manipulate not only their own families but also therapists and the legal system to maintain power and control over partners and children. This book is much more than another set of anecdotes.

When Dad Hurts Mom

This is an excellent book. It's informative, but very sensitive. I would highly recommend it to any moms out there that are being abused in any way, shape or form. Especially if you don't feel your kids are being affected by you being abused. Because guess what?! They are!

When Dad Hurts Mom

This is the best book available about the effects of domestic abuse on children! It's a valuable tool for self-help or counselors. I am a Clinical Social Worker and Certified Domestic Violence Professional, and I recommend this book to most of my clients who are facing issues of divorce, custody, and coping with their children's emotional needs in the aftermath of an abusive relationship. I also use this author's other book "Why Does He Do That?" regularly in working with domestic violence victims and survivors.

Not Targeted to Witnessess/Survivors of Domestic Violence

This book seems excellent for mothers who are either in or survivors of domestic violence ("DV"). However, if you are an adult who survived being raised in a home permeated by DV and you are looking for a book on healing the wounds, this is not the book for you. It gives great advice to assist mothers who have young children. I simply believe that I was not a part of the target audience for this particular book. I was looking for information for individuals who had witnessed repeated incidence of DV throughout their childhood and were attempting to heal the wounds. This is not the book for that purpose.

Can my partner abuse me and still be a good parent? Should I stay with my partner for my children's sake? How should I talk to my children about the abuse and help them heal? Am I a bad mother?

Mothers in physically or emotionally abusive relationships ask themselves these questions every day. Here, a counselor reveals how abusers interact with and manipulate children-and how mothers can help their children recover from the trauma of witnessing abuse.

This book, the first ever of its kind, shows mothers how to:

- Protect children and help them heal emotionally
- Provide love, support, and positive role models, even in the midst of abuse
- Increase their chances of winning custody
- Help their kids feel good about themselves
