Parental Alienation: Divorce Poison (thanks tmmx...excellent book) and Divorce Casualties by Darnell.
I have a whole bunch that I reviewed also for the local Women's group here that deals with abuse. It helped me a great deal with dealing with an abusive person in my life.
I don't remember the books that I read my kids...there was one though, Lois Nightengale (sp?) about Even though my parents are getting a divorce they both still love me.
I don't think it's so much the books you read your kids when you divorce, but the communication and the way you behave in front of your kids that count. My ex was parading women in and out of his bedroom, whereas I have not. Think of the impressions each of us have on our children.
The more *you* are educated about divorce, the emotions and the business of it, the better you are able to deal with the kids and how they come out of this. Realize that no matter what you do, these kids choose their own path. The BEST you can do for them is have them prepared. Educate yourself and find yourself a great therapist who can help you along the road. Check out your local library too...they have some wonderful resources. From what I understand, in the U.S. there is a program for kids that are going through divorce. "Sandcastles"? There is also a book I believe.
