Kate & Emily

I think in our heart of hearts, whoever did what to whom, when, why or where, we all know that in order for the children to grow into well rounded adults it is a good idea for them to have a relationship with both mother and father. As the adults we have to encourage it and make it happen. This section of the site is aimed at creating a workable plan for both parents to buy-in to so that this can be achieved.

BUT FIRST, HERE'S SOME CLAPTRAP:

Here we help you to overcome some of the hurdles to putting co-parenting into practice. We know it takes a mammoth effort, and smacks of being far to good to be true. It’s not though, you can have a relationship with your ex that is far from perfect and still get something useful out of doing this.

IDENTIFY PROBLEMS

Children love their Mum and Dad, so look at the relationships from their perspective. It really doesn’t matter who did what to whom. The adjustment of the parents and how they treat each other are amongst the most important factors in how children experience divorce. The benefits to the children of developing a good co-operative relationship with their other parent can be enormous and the negative effects of not behaving in a civil way far-reaching. At some level work towards mending or reforming your relationship with the other parent.

Come on where's your pride? We all know this is a horrid, low and destructive way to behave. It's hard not to, so reading this might just give elp you to get a grip of your moral fibre and rise above such skullduggery (if that's how you spell it?!)
