Theoden, yes you should start your own thread, not because you can't vent elsewhere, you are welcome to do it here anytime, but because I have found it helpful to work through the process of start to finish(except when they lock up unexpectedly).

I don't think that co-parenting is about being nice to everyone, it is more about acceptance that it is yet another thing that is out of our controll. She is and always will be the mother of your children, nothing can change that. OM is and most likely always will be a f@ck faced piece of sh!t, continue to build your kids moral character and they will know that fact for themselves!

We worry that our wives will fill their heads with their own twisted view of reality, and they probably will. What do we do about other sources of misinformation? TV, the internet, print adds, friends on the bus? As fathers, we continue to tell and show what is and is not acceptable behavior.

The strongest comment you can make about your wifes behavior is to demonstrate for your children an acceptable alternative. It is on your shoulders to be the moral center for your kids. What is it you really want them to learn? That honor,committment,fidelity, and loyalty are not just words found in books, that they are meaningful and powerful and relevent to their lives. You have it within you to teach all that by example.
