Friends is a bit strong for what I would call me and my ex, but we are polite, and sociable to each other. She comes to all the "family" functions because the kids want her to be there, and are all held at my house, except the occasional restaurant we go to. We are cordial, respectful, and polite........and will remain so!

been there done that, no being friends may take years. seeing her happy on the arms of another, hurts u as u aren't happy, and if your kid is involved with the other man you will be hurt even more, seeing the man take your spot that u feel belonged to u. seeing him live the life that u wanted. but it happens, and there is no way out of feeling the hurt, it is normal . at least attempt to be civil for the sake of the child.

Yes. It definitely does work. You'd do well to go into counseling to deal with your feelings. The important thing is to think of your daughter. As long as you are acting in the best interest of your daughter, she will grow up to be mentally healthy. But, to deal with your own feelings, go to counseling. It's not easy.

Friends? I don't know.. BUT, I do see the need to be cordial and friendly for the sake of your daughter.
