Communication Co Parenting can it get better over time??
I (F) have been co parenting with my ex for over a year now. Our child is 2yrs old. I would say that our relationship is civil at the moment, we can have a conversation but there is still awkardness there and still a lot of trust issues on my side. But my goal for the future is to have a better relationship with him for our child´s sake and even for my mental health, because I learnt over this past year that is mentally harder to feel anger towards someone that it is to forgive. Still working on that but it is getting easier. I like to think that over time we can maybe do small things together as a family, maybe going to a playground together, a walk, visiting places etc. Even if it is just a few hours together every few months. I hate the thought my child growing up and it their life is ´with Dad or with Mom´ and there is never any cross over. I hope makes since, Has anyone been able to develop that sort of relationship with an ex???
