Sounds like a good start! I try to think of my ex as the postman. So there is idle pleasant chatter. We aren't friends but we aren't enemies either. We have 4 kids to raise.
I do have them the vast majority of the time so I am doing the raising. I do listen to his imput but at the end of the day, it is my decision. I am lucky that I have some good kids.
