How to Deal With an Inflexible Ex
If you are one of those divorced persons who has a contentious relationship with their ex, be ever so careful that you do not let it impact the well-being of the children you are parenting together.
Unfortunately, children are almost always collateral damage when it comes to divorce — helpless victims who love both parents — and the last thing they need is to feel the tension and acrimony between the two people they love most. Nor do they need to feel they must choose one parent over the other. But I find that parents are so caught up in their anger, need for control, or bitterness that they do not fully realize how their behavior can affect their children.

Wonderful statement. As humans we forget to separate. The children need to know they are loved. The amazing part I have found is that having a marriage was WAY easier than being a divorced parent on levels I never expected. Necessity forced a situation….and it is a constant uphill road! Parents…keep working on attitude and pray!
