I am very proud...

I am very proud of the fact that after my separation and divorce from my ex-husband I have not talked bad about him to our children. I have not made fun of, belittled, put down, made negative comments about or pointed out anything bad, sad, or negative in any way about him to our children. I also have not talked to the children about what went wrong between him and I. I made it a point to not say anything about him to them. Period. I have kept my mouth shut.

The problems we had were between a husband and wife and not between father and children or mother and children. For all of this I am very proud. I believe I took the high road and I am very proud. Plus, I think that our children are old enough to form their own opinions. They are adults and I treat them like adults. Both children have a very good relationship with both of their parents and for that I am thankful and of course very proud!

Most people do not take the high road. They are too self-absorbed and too focused on themselves. They are scared of being alone. They think that if they put down the other parent then the kids will not like/love the other parent. This is pitiful in my opinion. Defination of pitiful: pathetic, distressing, miserable, heartbreaking, sad, deplorable, heart-rending and gut-wrenching.

So I will say it one more time, I am so proud of my children for being able to have great realtionships with both of their parents.
