Nice or Bitter Divorce?

Question

i supose no divorce is never nice....the idea anyways...but i am wondering how many of you that have divorced did so in a MATURE way, when it comes to your children. ive been divorced for over 7yrs. he and i share custody of our son. he lives with me during the school yr, but we dont have a visitation schedule, i make sure that my son is avalible any time my ex would like to have him. holidays, bdays, etc. and he stays with his father all summer, i do not get child support...we share everything 50/50 down the middle. if my son needs something...i call, and my ex helps get it. i know a lot of dads/moms arent that lucky. BUT with that exception. i wonder why parents fight over their children? or money. why behave in that manner. no you may not like or love each other anymore, but can ppl not grow up just a bit...for the sake of their kids!! some of my son's friends are in horrible situations with their parents..its heartbreaking, dont ppl realize their children will grow up to resent it?

Answer 1

I think it would be really hard to try and not be selfish at a time when the world is shaking apart. Divorce, even a divorce that was a long time coming, causes a division of family and assets and emotion.

I think it takes a strong person to put that aside and do what's best for their child without wanting to ignore the world to deal with that pain and stress.

Good job in working it out though. :)

Answer 2

Congratulations that things are going well for you. My son and I are on our own and I just found out that my ex-husband has a girlfriend. It's been two years since our separation and he was never invovled. In spite of our previous feuding, I still put his name on my son't birth certificate instead of leaving it blank. I guess we can only stay positive.

Answer 3

money, hate and revenge.
