Divorce professionals can talk all they want about how great collaborative divorce is, but to me it makes a much bigger impact when divorced parents talk about the benefits of collaborative divorce that they see. Blogger Nikki Jo posted a beautiful entry about Thanksgiving post-divorce on I Loved Deeper. Here's a slice of her post:
But in a world where people hate each other after divorce…. try to make
each other’s lives a living hell…. hurting the ones they once loved and
using their children, who should be protected, as pawns in such wars…..
I am so very thankful that I am not in one of those relationships.
As we all sat around the table, decorating cookies and making endless fun of one another, I was reminded that my children (and myself) will be so much happier later in life looking back and having these memories of our family (Jon and I both included) spending quality time together.
