Begin with Yourself and Your Feelings
To start with, we will address the musings of parental figures post-separation or divorce – “What did I ever find attractive in that person?” and “Could anything have been done to prevent this?”.
It is possible that you may have lost your admiration for one another, but it’s essential to recall the fact that together you both embarked on parenting a child – an undeniably vital duty. Your former partner will always be a co-parent, so however much of an effort it takes, dealing with them at some point during the process will unavoidably become necessary.
Additionally, you will be prompted to take an honest look at yourself and recognize how your behavior may be fuelling or even creating the issues that are initially assigned to your ex.
