I found some most excellent co-parenting resources today, all under the umbrella of an organization called Bonus Families:
Bonus Families®, as an organization was founded in 1999, but the ground work was laid years before. The founders, Jann Blackstone-Ford, PsyD., a divorce and stepfamily mediator, and Sharyl Jupe, had weathered …

Recently, a friend complimented me on my commitment to my daughters’ relationship with their father. I responded by telling her that I consider the relationship a sacred one.
