This article, by Rosaline Sedacca, says it all with regard to co-parenting after a divorce. It takes a very grown-up person to co-parent well after an ugly divorce. None of us are grown-up all the time. So, do your best to not have an ugly divorce. You are, after all, stuck with your ex-spouse until the children grow up . . . and beyond. It’s not all bad. Parenting is a huge job and sharing the burdens and joys can be very welcome. To know someone loves your children as much as you do is a wonderful thing for most people.
