Empowered by divorce

The divorce wasn't all that tough. He didn't fight me on anything and I tried to be fair as well. After all he did work hard to provide things for us I wasn't going to try and keep everything just because he was a jerk. We split everything within reason and if we disagreed I told him to get his own lawyer. We shared one lawyer if you get two lawyer and two jaded lovers together all your doing is asking for a longer more expensive divorce. By the time it was over I felt empowered. He had to listen to me. I was not going to give in to anything that wasn't good for the well being of my child. I held the cards now and he knew it.

I can say now that we have a wonderful relationship. He's still a selfish pig but now I don't have to deal with it. I am a strong believer in do what is best for the children. If the two of us disagree my son never knows. We do not nor will we ever make that child chose between us and he will never know if we have a problem. They do pop up from time to time but my ex and I hash them out when the time is appropriate. After all our son is the one our anger would affect the most and it is our responsibility to mold him. I started down this road a child. My Ex and I may have taken different paths but we make sure they come together for the sake of our child. Now as I travel through life I can say I am strong woman and a loving mother.
