[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 362215, member: 805"] My mom thought it was strange when bonehead and first separated and we threw her a 15th birthday together at this condo. But I will tell you that bonehead and I get along better now that all the false expectations are gone. His family is still my family. I still go over there for holidays, my mother in law visits us almost every Sunday after church, I work with my sister in law...... Folks think it's so strange that bonehead and I still work together. You know, life is what it is and we separated before we hated each other. We never allowed it to get to the point where we yelled or used the kids as pawns. It was a deliberate choice on our part. Mostly because deep down we still care for each other as a fixture in our lives. Bonehead and I spent many, many years together - 1979 through 2004 - his mother will tell you that I am her daughter and one of bonehead's sisters and I are very, very close - we are sisters. You don't just disconnect and loose the family because you divorce the person. So I think it really depends. Bonehead and I are friends on some level. I can tell you that after basically becoming adults together, growing so much together, struggling for years and then coming into our own, there is a lot of history. If you asked us both while we were standing next to each other you would find us both say that we will always be a part of each other's lives and do care. Do we always get along? No. Is he a bonehead? Surely. Could I every live with the man or thing of him romantically? Never, never, never! The fact that you and your kids can't stand her is mute if your parents still want a relationship with her. Are there children? Sharon [/QUOTE]
