Comments on: When Co-Parenting Works http://winecountrymom.blogs.santarosamom.com/10227/when-co-parenting-works/ Doing the single parent thing since 2004. This is the story of us.

As a grown up child of divorce, I cannot agree more with this statement. I can remember simply wanting my parents to *want* me to have a good relationship with the other. That way I wouldn't have to feel guilty or censor my love for my other parent around them. I could be comfortable and confident. It sure didn't happen that way though. I'm glad you are trying so hard. Your children are lucky to have you. Good luck with it! Great article! “The very best decision a former couple can make is to actively continue working at co-parenting their children.”

My sons are seven and five. In the beginning, my ex and I swore the same things the two of you did, and though I know for a fact I haven't bad-mouthed their mother to them, my oldest son now comes to me and says "mommy says you broke up our family" and "she said you only wanted one kid." I'm not sure what to do about this, other than light into her about it, but in conversations where I respectfully, rather than angrily, broach the subject, she denies saying such things, or asserts that she "didn't say it that way." Now, after promising that we would avoid courts and lawyers with respect to custody, currently 80/20, she now has no intention of giving me more custody without a court fight. My point is, I've tried to put aside my differences with her. Granted, she has more to be mad at me about the marriage ending, but shouldn't she stop with the vengeance by now? Where do I go from here when I can't afford lawyers and she has all the power and is using it in this way? BTW, nice blog, Little One. Bravo ;) I’ve been divorced from my ex-wife for five years now.
