Welcome.
Have you heard the expression, “Bloom where you’re planted?” It means being able to flourish when we find ourselves in a place we didn’t choose. Co- parenting after divorce is often a spot we have stumbled into reluctantly. Because who sets out to marry and get divorced with children?
I can’t say my early years of co- parenting felt like blooming. More like surviving. It was in-your-face intensity, day after day. Now, with my sons grown, I can see how important and worthwhile that time was, though hard and lonely. At the time, I just kept going, trying to keep us all afloat.
This blog, and the book I am writing, Co-Parenting Stories of Moms and Dads: Harvest of Hope, is my way of offering support to parents who are thinking about or doing co-parenting. Because parenting matters.
Are you co-parenting? What helps you, and what makes it harder? Where do you find hope? Please add your stories and comments below.
And stay tuned for more on divorced parents finding their way. [contact-form-7 404 "Not Found"]
