I think Case and I both would say that we like each other a lot better now that we don't live together. And I think Jamey picked up on that, because he was never really "difficult" through the whole thing. Yeah, he kind of pulls the "I want my mommy" thing when he gets mad at me (and vice-versa), but I think I would be worried if he didn't express it in some fashion. At any rate, he never gets his way when he does that. The rule is that if he asks to call the other parent and it isn't because he's mad at one of us, we jump to the phone and make the call. I think it's important that he know that either parent will always be there when he has a need. My parents played me against each other and I remember how painful it was and how much I resented them for it. I do not want that to happen to my relationship with my "mini-me".

My divorce was pretty amiable, but - damn, it still hurt! I get the occasional twinge to this very day, but life does go on and there are other loves in this world. When I was growing up my parents fought constantly and my mother would always try to get me to take her side against my Dad. I hated it and used to wish that they'd just get divorced and be done with it. There are worse things than being a child of divorced parents. One of them is being the child of two people who should have divorced and didn't. It sounds like you and Case are doing the right thing by each other and by Jamey, painful as it might sometimes be. Good luck and happier days to all three of you. The light DOES follow the dark!
