I am divorced. My son just turned 1 a couple of months ago. I'm sure that he's a little confused on why he sees one parent or the other, but never at the same time. My ex and I are trying to keep a civil, if not friendly, relationship. Honestly, there aren't too many bad feelings between us; we just get along much better when we don't live together, and are not in a romantic relationship. My ex takes a very active role in our son'slife, which I'm very greatful for. But perhaps it is better for us to get along and be apart than to be together and argue all the time. We have both agreed to always be open with our son as he grows up. Hopefully, we will be able to teach him that whatever happened between us, it is not his fault.
