How has your relationship with your coparent been now that your kid(s) are older/over 18?
Post Body

Just curious. I’ve came a very long way since my ex broke up with me and we became coparents. I was a mess my goodness. Anyway, we’re doing a lottttt better now, coparent great with the kid and spend holidays together and do activities together maybe a couple of times throughout the year.

I was just wondering how has your relationship with you coparent over the years changed? Although we don’t have any clear issues with one another, I still have a lot of personal work to do personally when it comes to my resentment toward him and also on forgiving myself for some of the things that transpired in our relationship (no infidelity just to throw that out there). In a way, I kind of get sad during the times we do spend together because man… At one point I really did think we would be together forever, but I also don’t have romantic feelings for him anymore. The best way I can describe it is growing pains. Knowing that we wouldn’t have worked out and are better apart and accepting that. I don’t think I could ever see myself apologizing (more than I already have at the end of our relationship) or bring up any conversations about our relationship, but part of me hopes that I can continue to learn to let things go and dismember all of the pieces of me that can be codependent on his approval such as ways we may parent differently, a person who I’m dating (they’re complete opposites and would not get along at all), and personal life choices and views on things. Part of me hopes that as our child gets older, we have to communicate and see each other a lot less haha.

Just interested in hearing about some of your experiences :)
