[quote=Anonymous]As someone married into a family of divorce I can tell you what my in-laws did NOT do, that would have made things much better. A lot has been mentioned. Here is what they should have done: 1. Speak respectfully about ex or not at all. Do not badmouth in front of your kid. 2. Your child is not your therapist. Get therapy. You have a right to be angry, hurt, furious whatever. You should not have a right to vent it all at or take it out on your kids. 3. Attend graduations and family events and be respectful. Otherwise expect when your kids get married inlaws get half time and you and your ex each get a fourth. Nobody wants to schlep all over for every holiday to please you. 4. Your kids are not your spies. Do not ask your young or even adult children for dirt on the ex. 5. Develop a rich life of your own with friends and family. Do not expect your kids to fill a void.
