Arguing over the kids
Arguing over the kids
In many cases, your spouse and their ex are usually in either the anger stages or the acceptance stages. It’s been my experience that the anger stage hangs around for some time. It may just be dormant until something or someone stirs it. If the parties are in the acceptance stage, it makes your situation a lot more comfortable. But never forget that anger and/or hurt could be lying quietly in ones subconscious. If they are not in the acceptance stages yet, it helps to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel if you just hang in there.
The second but the most important to remember is that the children involved are the most important and impressionable people in this situation. They were hurt and might be angry due to the loss of full time access to one parent. Arguing over the kids may not be something your spouse can help. Fighting around the kids can always be prevented.
