As moms, we all want the same thing when it comes to divorce – a good one, if there even is such a thing. We want the amicable divorce, the friendly “I want the best for you,” relationship with our exes because we know that will ultimately benefit our kids the most. But sometimes, it’s only one parent who is in favor of a good divorce, while the other parent chooses anger and ego over anything else.
In this episode of Moms Moving On, good divorce proponent and author of The Mom’s Guide to a Good Divorce, Sarah Armstrong and I chatted about what it means to have a good divorce, what it takes to put your child first, and how you can still have a good divorce even if your ex isn’t on the same page.
This conversation will have you breathing a sigh of relief as you realize that your good effort will not go unnoticed by your kids despite what your may do or not do. In fact, your efforts will make ALL the difference in the lives of your children.
