  • Embrace wisdom. Divorce is a painful experience, but an experience that’s packed with valuable life lessons. Instead of looking at the situation, and seeing dashed dreams, embrace the wisdom you’re gaining. Don’t think about what you’ve lost. Think about what you’ve learned.
  • Respect your co-parenting partner. You’ll be co-parenting for the rest of your life and so will your co-parenting partner. Regardless of what your ex-spouse did or said before, during, and after your divorce, consider finding a way to respect their standing as your children’s other parent. Remember, your children love both of their parents.

Part four of this series will be released next week.
