Well, I wouldn't say my husband's ex-wife and I are friends ... we don't chit-chat on the phone or go to lunch together. But we do chat for a few minutes if we run into each other in town. And we have perfectly reasonable, rational conversations about the kids - it makes it so much easier if we are civil and decent to each other. I
have no beef with her, and she has none with me. They divorced three years before he and I got married - it's not like I was the reason for their divorce or anything. He hates her, and tells me horrible stories about what she did to cause their divorce. I have no doubts that she feels the same way about him, and tells her boyfriend all that he did to cause their divorce. And frankly, as in the vast majority of such cases, the truth probably lies somewhere in between the two perceptions.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
