embracing change

FM I just googled about shared parenting and the effects on children of divorce. Of course, studies showed that children of intact families were the most secure, but shared parenting followed as long as
1)parents did not badmouth each other to the kids (or in front of them)

2)parents supported the kids' interest in communicating with the other parent (i.e. if the son said he missed mom, dad would let him call her)

You know I am in the same boat as you as far as struggling with how my S will fare in the long run due to this divorce....if it comes to that!
