My ex and I divorced when our son was 8, and we have an excellent co-parenting relationship now. Our son has two loving homes, and while it isn’t “ideal” both his mom and I are happier apart and thus probably better parents. Divorce doesn’t always have to be acrimonious and disastrous for children. Not everyone can get along with their ex-wife like I can, but I much prefer this arrangement to something more stressful. This is easier on everyone.
