Stop Blaming Mothers and Ignoring Fathers - David Mandel - Bog

Imagine risking your life to keep your children safe only to be accused of "choosing him over your children?"
¿¿¿¿¿
Domestic violence survivors all over the world share the experience of protecting their children yet still being blamed for "choosing their partner over their children," "failing to protect," and perpetrating "parental alienation." Unchecked, these accusations can become the justification for separating children from their protective mothers. Harmful claims can thrive in environments in which fathers' behavior is ignored while mothers are blamed for domestic violence's negative impacts.
In this groundbreaking book written for professionals and survivors, David Mandel deconstructs the six key myths at the heart of mother-blaming and father-ignoring culture, demonstrating their flaws and limitations. Each step along the way, David uses the principles and tools of the Safe & Together Model to outline easy-to- implement solutions to these all-too-common problems.
