A Co-parenting Story: It's not about you...it's about them

This past Christmas, my children and I sat around a table with my former mother- and father-in-law, my former husband, my mother and my long-term boyfriend. We ate a delicious Christmas feast, shared drinks and stories, and created a wonderful memory for my children by celebrating together. Three years ago, during the turbulent time of early separation and co-parenting, I wished that one day we would be able to gather again in joyous peace. Three years ago, I never expected it to actually happen.
