“Resentment is like taking poison and hoping the other person dies.”
–St. Augustine
Well, maybe he didn’t have co-parents in mind when he said this, but this is an apt warning for parents who sip the bitter brew.
Are there resentments you’re holding onto that are hindering your co-parenting relationship? The bitterness is not only toxic to you and to your co-parenting relationship, but more importantly, to your child. Resentment and true peace cannot co-exist. What will you let go of today to increase the peace in your children’s lives?
