A good co-parenting relationship after a divorce is the most important thing you can give your child. I remind myself every day that my exhusband gave me the greatest gift of my life, which is this child. He is always going to be my family and the father of this child. I remind myself that we are one family. We are at two homes, but one family. The first thing I would suggest is relinquish control. Don´t micromanage. When your child leaves your house, trust that he is going to a parent that loves him as much as you do. Don´t overreact. Things aren´t going to be done the way you want them to whether or not you were living in the same house. When something is not done, make yourself stop from sending that angry text message or that email. It´s not worth it. Most of all, just realize it´s not worth it to worry. My son will call me and say laughingly mommy, I know you are going to have a freak out but it´s not too much blood at daddy´s house. But I hurt myself. And you just have to laugh and realize it´s really going to be okay.
