Summary
"You can love God, you can go to therapy, you can have a new husband and you can still get a petty text from your ex that will send you, okay?"
I used to think co-parenting was for people who failed at marriage... that it was the byproduct of divorce. I now realize that real co-parenting is for people who refuse to fail their kids because you divorce your partner but you don't divorce your children.
What does our co-parenting situation look like though? Let me just say it's not what I thought it would look like.
Hit play for the real stuff - the court documents, the group chats, the new partners, and how to build a good life even when co-parenting is f*ckd up.

| 0:34.9 | And, well, who's going to walk me down the aisle at my wedding? Tough, tough questions to |
| 0:41.1 | get when you are in the midst of a divorce and questions that still linger when you are trying to |
| 0:48.2 | figure out co-parenting. And I want to remind you that co-parenting is not a worksheet. It is not a course. It is not a |
| 0:57.0 | somebody you follow or an influencer on Instagram. This is your actual life, right? It's not just |
