I am very new here, but have scoured all of your stories and have found such peace just knowing that I am not alone. My story is similar to many here. I have two wonderful sons of my own that I have co-parented with the greatest father I could have ever asked for for my children. We might not have made it as a romantic partnership (married 19 years) but we maintained love and respect for each other after the divorce and have always put our boys first. So they are extremely well adjusted young men (15 and 20.) My ex has always been tough, as I am; but always loving and fair.
