The Role of Divorced Parents

Okay I am sitting here thumbing through a bunch of articles and running into some interesting people that share common interests with me and I am intrigued with what they have to say. I am going through a divorce right now and it is not easy for me or especially for my children, by a long shot.

I have to sit here and sugar coat things for them because they haven't seen Daddy in awhile. Now what angers me more then anything in this world is the fact that two parents can't get along for the sake of the children. Yes, we fight when he calls (if he calls) because the calls are not legit to me. Put it that way.

Now if it were concerning the kids, I would be so thrilled! Sadly it never does. WHY???? This is not even what I want to talk about though. I want to talk about parents FORGIVING one another so that they can move on and get along with each other. Just because you are not married and sleeping in the same bed doesn't mean that you can't act like civilized adults and converse in an adult manner. The kids would want nothing less then that.

To me when you have to fight like that it means one of two things. You still love them. OR You are harboring bitterness. If you still love them, why aren't you with them? If you are harboring bitterness, you are only hurting yourself. YES fighting can mean that you love them LOL. Frustrating I know.....

Okay like with me... I get angry because I know men who call for selfish reasons and nothing to do about the kids. You can talk to them about the kids and it is as if they can care less. By all means GET OFF THE PHONE if it isn't about the kids. UHHHG

It is about our babies you guys!! Time to grow up and push feelings aside. Get along for the sake of the children! It's bad enough that the other parent is not in their life on a regular basis. DO NOT cut the other parent down to the kids (as much as it kills you to lie - in some cases UHG). Try to keep peace because if they are a worthless parent, the children will see for them self eventually.

Okay my vent for the day - lol ahhhhhhhhh I feel better!!

God bless the happy marriages!
