[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't outright resent her but she was wrong to complain about those things to you.[/quote] I think we have the benefit of 40+ years of, for lack of a better term, divorce culture in knowing it was wrong for her to complain. There is so much advice out there now on the internet, in books etc, about how to handle a divorce most appropriately when there are children involved. OP’s mom probably didn’t have a Parenting - Special Concerns forum to consult on how to do it right. I find that when I am frustrated with how my parents handled things, I sometimes can give them a little more grace when I remember that they didn’t have a world of information literally in their pocket like we do now to help them with things that seem so obvious to me. [/quote] +1 NP. And this perspective helps me too. I think there were a lot of people from our parents generation who just sort of muddled through. [/quote]
