Jewelz
All I can say to you, Jewelz, is you're a better person than I am! I've been divorced now for 40 years and still cannot seem to have a conversation that doesn't turn hateful. Unfortunately, my X has never been a decent father to his son!
I think it is so important to keep the lines of communication open when there are children involved. After all, eventually it will be the child's decision whether or not they want to continue the relationship.
