[quote=Anonymous]We are divorced 10 years and from the outside we look like the poster children for an amicable divorce. People comment all the time about how well we get along. Our teenagers think we are good friends (the parent of one my daugther's buddies recently told me that her child is jealous of how well my ex and I coparent). We sit next to each other at school functions, text and talk all the time about schedules, and don't tear one another down to the kids.

All that said, I despise him (I have no idea what he thinks about me). He cheated on me like it was his job and secretly spent us into a debt that I am still recovering from almost a decade after I first discovered it. He is a liar and a manipulator and it took me years to put myself back together, with the help of a very good therapist. I would love to never speak to or even see him again.

For me, it took putting my love for my kids over my hate for him to get where we are. It helped that I am a teacher, so I have spent my career watching what an angry divorce can do to a child. I didn't want that for my kids. So with that in mind (and did I mention the therapy?) I made it my goal to keep things amicable. And for the most part it has worked. [/quote]
