[quote=Anonymous]Wow! I feel bad for you Op. This much anger is so toxic and not good for you. I am not divorced but have seen a number of close girlfriends get divorced this year. They generally do start with a lot of anger but eventually remember it is in the best interest of the kids to get along and find ways to be successful co-parents.

As much as you hate your ex - he is your kids father. Their genetics are half his. How will it make them feel if you constantly talk about what a bad person he is? They also have to spend time with him. Isn't the goal for them to feel safe and secure at either house? Your 'honesty' sounds like a sure-fire recipe for anxiety.

I would also  be very careful because if you are constantly displaying this  much anger (in the form of 'honesty') you may eventually drive your children away.

I would really find another place to vent your anger -  like therapy and do your best to make your kids feel happy and secure in your co-parenting relationship.  They (and you) deserve better.

Good luck op! [/quote]
