The Tablet
'Essential reading for anyone caught up in divorce or separation, or who is studying the implications of family break-ups.' (Nursery World)
'I find the book especially helpful as it is written for the parents and therefore is not strangled by jargon.' (Gingerbread Northern Ireland)
'Many of our groups have referred to your book and have gone away in a better frame of mind and more able to cope with the questions which their children ask. We often refer to your book and can usually come up with the right answer.' (Gingerbread Scotland)
'Apart from the obvious readership for this book, I'd also recommend it to anyone contemplating a divorce - it might just make them think again.' (The London Parents' Guide)
'A sad book, practical and fair; a book which makes it clear that the children of families broken by separation, imprisonment or death can be helped, but can never be spared. The great achievement of this book is to portray the lingering grief of broken promises and shattered trust without condemnation or melodrama.'(The Tablet)
Book Description
Where's Daddy? is an invaluable guide for mothers and fathers with broken families.
It will help them answer children's questions concerning separation and divorce. And provides forewarning of the doubts and problems which may arise later.
The authors make an ideal team to discuss the subject: Jill Curtis is a well-known psychotherapist and her daughter, Virginia Ellis, with two small children, has been through the pain of separation followed by divorce.
This book is based on a questionnaire sent out to hundreds of separated and divorced parents. The wide variety of their replies revealed the confusion, problems and agony caused by lack of advice and knowledge of where to go for support.
Where's Daddy? Contains a list of resources and helpful addresses.
