My FSIL is 22 and her parents divorced when when she was about 4 years and both of her parents remarried. Anyway, they all get along and the other day FSIL said to me "my parents were ment to have me while they were married and that's all". I thought it was pretty profound coming from such a young person. She is smart, funny and very well rounded and both sets of her parents are the reason behind her being this way.

I wish more people could just get along and accept that a relationship did not work but that the children should not suffer because of the outcome of the relationship.

has said so many times that she is so glad that I dovroced her dad because we are only good at two things: She says we made a great kid and we make great friends. That is how I know we did something right. We were at church on Mother's Day (ex and I both attend the same church with our new spouses and step kids). He hugged me and wished me a Happy Mother's Day. BD said to me, yeah, you wouldnt have this day without him! I agreed, thanks him for giving me a gift nobody else on earth cold. Then BD shouted out, okay, now where is my other dad? Ex smiled, hugged her and told her to go find him. That is what forgiveness is all about. I agree with you and wish so many of the people suffering here could experience the joy I feel for having my ex husband and husband as two of my best friends.
