1: DISARMING THE ThE Passive - Agressive
I was loaned this book by my child's therapist - her recommendation. I've had it a week - couldn't put it down long enough to order my own copy. It's definitely a solid book for anyone dealing with someone with passive aggression and/or self-centered ex's. There are techniques used that can be used for the children who are also being affected. In a week, I've learned how to rebut the accusations nicely and walk away to enjoy the day. Huge value in that. Bottom line - they are who they are; it's why you aren't with them anymore. Don't let them suck you dry of any more of your life. Disarm and move on.

2: Useful information
This text offers useful information in high conflict custody situations. I think it is worth noting that any person involved in such custody disputes but with someone who dislays violence should only take advice from any text with the strict advice and guidance from a trained therapist or child advocate. The issue of "violence" and violent tendencies makes a ex-spouse much more dangerous than just a "jerk".

3: DON'T BOTHER
This book is terrible. They bend so far over backwards not to insult men that they insult women. It tells you basically, yes he is a jerk but YOU must bend over backwards to accomodate his jerkiness. It adds to the current family court system that says that you can do whatever you want and the person pooped on must be the one to give in to the selfish one, the one who is morally wrong. That is right. We live in the west. Morals are relative.
Don't buy this book unless you want more frustration.

4: Could have been better
They attempted to put a positive spin on the book by being cute. It did not work. It starts in the right direction but sometimes becomes more game playing. Take the good parts and ignore the rest.

5: My children are better off because I read this book
This book will help you learn to deal effectively with difficult spouses or any other antagonistic people in your life.
If you are going through a divorce, I highly recomend this book
