Antlers: Throughout the past 10 years and my interactions with ex - I can honestly say that I screwed up more than I did well. To the point that it was SO much easier just to avoid him altogether. But on those rare occasions when I got it right - I was proud of myself and just felt so much better. I'm sure my kids felt better too.

Did I do things that I regret? Yes, more often than I could count and what do I regret most? That my children saw me behave that way.

So I kick butt when I try to stop someone from doing the things that I did. But you sure earned your praise today.
