A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce by Alec Baldwin, Mark A. Tabb

barbie16's review against another edition

3.0

I learned quite a bit about family law and America's legal system concerning divorce in Alec Baldwin's book. I also commend him for writing about a period of his life that was clearly a difficult time. What I would have liked to learn that I didn't was how things eventually panned out for him. I do realize that elements of his custody battle might not have been fully resolved at the printing of this book.

I hate to see families divided. Almost nothing makes me more sad. And this book delves onto divided families further divided by a system that has serious problems and borders on malicious motives. It was difficult to read because it represents thousands of families who are going through it daily. Glad I read it because I have new insights and compassions. It was brave of the author to make the effort and revisit a painful time.

It started out alright but quickly devolved into a woe-is-me, "I'm such a victim" drama. It's bullshit. He wants to portray himself as an innocent bystander who did nothing wrong. I don't buy it.
