Kellie....I can relate to this! My boys are in their 30's now (pretty close to your age?) Anyway,about 6 years ago Jenny and I went to Adelaide to visit my 2 boys. Their mother married again after our divorce and had another 3 kids.Then she got divorced again.My eldest son,Matthew arranged for Jenny and I to have dinner with his mum and the whole tribe! It felt a bit strange but we all got on well and we ended up spending quite a bit of time together.It really was like one big family! My ex wife's eldest daughter and her husband were in Perth a while ago and they came and spent an evening with us,that was nice too. This girls name is Rebecca and I took a real shine to her.To be honest,she is a dead ringer for her mum at that age! (21) There is no reason why ex's and their new family can't become friends.Just thought I'd share that with you.Have a good one over there!

I actually did see your blog regarding your ex wife's daughter's visit a little while ago. That was so nice of her to drop in on you like that! How great the world would be if every break up or divorce could be like this. Not always the case though and definitely not for everyone. I am just glad that I took the higher ground with this situation as the girls and I will be much better for it :0)

Thanks for commenting though as it's nice to know that someone else can relate.

Have a great day Rupert :)

that sounds absolutely wonderful.. I know when my husband and I separated at one point, the picture you painted would be a myth in my eyes.. but.. you make it sound so wonderful. I guess you really have to rely on mature parties (that communicate and compromise well) .. and I'm so very glad for your daughter's sake and you, naturally.. that it has come together so well.. YAY! :) Most awesome.. and hope it only gets smoother.. xxx

Hi Lola, yeah it wasn't so easy in the beginning but now that I look back I think how worth it all was. Break-ups/Separations/Divorces are never easy to get through but maturity and patience sometimes are all you need.

Glad you stopped by and wishing you a great night!! :D

i've not read your blogs, so i've no idea why you've left your husband, though, i am curious as to your perspective on why you did, perhaps you can point me towards a blog o' yours depicting your thoughts on the reasons yes?
