Thanksgiving Challenge, day 6: Im thankful (and Im sure my children are thankful) that I get along with my ex-husband. Mistakes have been made in the past, but we look to the present & the future--our boys. Its not a facade, its a genuine attempt to reconcile with another human being on this earth. Its how Christ would have it. I pray and ask that if any of you have been divorced, been through a nasty custody battle...move on from the anger and hurt and focus on the present and the future. Continue to turn the other cheek if you have to. Focus on the kids. Make an attempt to sincerely co-parent. It still takes giving and compromising, but your kids (and YOU) will benefit greatly from it. I sleep well at night knowing that when my boys graduate or get married they will NEVER WORRY about how to juggle their two divorced parents and their new spouses at the same event without World War III occurring--because its not about us. Its about them...in the process, we just become better parents, better partners to our new spouses, and better human beings. Our kids learn from that. Im thankful for that lesson in life.
