If you told me a few years ago that I’d be sitting here excited about reconnecting with my ex-husband, I would’ve laughed and said, “Yeah, right.” Back then, we couldn’t even be in the same room without tension filling the air. But life has a funny way of humbling you and showing you what really matters.
Today, I can honestly say it feels good. We can laugh, cut up, and joke again—but more importantly, we can be a shoulder for each other. That means the world to me because at one point, before the marriage fell apart, he was my best friend. He’s the father of my kids, and no matter what happened between us, that bond will always matter.
What surprises me the most is how easy our friendship came back. FaceTiming, talking on the phone—it’s not awkward at all. It feels natural, like two people who’ve grown up, learned their lessons, and realized the value of peace. We can talk about everything: life, current relationships, and most importantly, how to do what’s best for our kids. And unlike before, we’re not fueled by jealousy, anger, or ego. We have boundaries now, and that makes all the difference.
One thing that really touches me? He’s not just being friendly—he’s supportive. He knows I’m a good mom, and he’s never once challenged that. In fact, he wants to help me get the kids back home where they belong. That kind of growth and teamwork gives me hope. It shows me people can change for the better when they want to.
Seeing him doing better than he probably ever has in his adult life puts me at peace. It proves healing is possible. It shows that co-parenting doesn’t have to feel like a battlefield—it can actually feel like a partnership when both people let go of the past and focus on what really matters: the kids.
So, let me ask you this:
➡️ Have you ever reached a point where you and your ex could put everything aside for the kids?
➡️ Or are you still in that place where it’s nothing but tension and old wounds?
Just for fun or even for your kiddos-- share a pic of you with your ex when being happy was a norm for ya'll (or the closest thing to it)
