We are going to be the ones who make it work or not. We are the ones who determine what our children view as a normal and abnormal relationship between divorced parents. We are their view of normal.
I didn't get divorced because I couldn't stand him. I got divorced because I had nothing left to give him as a wife. Being a wife and being a mother are two very different roles and one of my roles ended. I want to be the best parent I can be and a large part of that is to do everything I can possibly do to keep my kids grounded in the Lord and giving them a sense of security. They feel secure when they know both parents are on the same page. They feel that way when they see that Mom and Dad are in a room together and they can still talk to each other and get along.
And that's what we did on Saturday. We put on our big boy/girl underpants and we celebrated the birth of our 4 year old baby. Our friends and family were there to celebrate with us and it was... normal.
