There is this weird misconception that co-parenting can not work.
There is this weird misconception that if parents still get along after their relationship ends, then one or the other has to have feelings for the other person. Those misconceptions may be true at times - but NOT always. For example, my kids father and I learned how to communicate better as co-parents. Much better than we did when we lived under the same roof. I was able to see and appreciate just how much his time and commitment to his children helped with the parenting process. Let's face it - All fathers that live in the household are not Present! Thank God, that wasn't my case. Now, on the flip side.... There is this misconception that in order for a parent to take care of his child, he/she must help financially support the other parent. There is this misconception that if the parents are not together, then one can not grow (spiritually, financially, or as a person) without helping the other parent. Listen, when the relationship ends, all of the benefits and perks of being in the relationship (as a mate) ends. Your child(ren)'s other parent is not responsible for your happiness nor your finances (outside of appropriate support for their child(ren). I know life happens and we all may need someone to "lean on"... Don't let the other parent be that someone. He/She is not to blame. If he/she is fortunate to assist AND they choose to do so - Great! But, don't let that be your only "back up plan". Don't hold that person responsible for your happiness or finances.
