I understand having a toxic relationship or feelings still involved for why co parenting relationships form like that.
I was in that situation for a while that developed in to you don’t talk to me and I won’t talk to you. only talking through third parties.
However, I have had time to think and reflect and family is family. Your child wouldn’t exist without the other person and visa Versa. I’m starting to think it’s a poor decision to think both parents can live separate lives with one child and expect a child to be whole, when they practically have to create two identities in two separated families.
You wouldn’t do business or hand over something so special, to you to people you don’t know, trust or speak to. So by creating a divided relationship with your child’s other family doesn’t that make matter worse for everyone?
I would love to hear peoples opinions on this? As my sibling child’s mother comes to the family parties, she comes in to the family home for a chat just about life and I just believe everyone is much kinder and happier and limits grey areas in environments like this.
