Last week I was interviewed by The Globe and Mail (Canada's leading newspaper) and I just received the final copy today. I will post a link to the full article soon!

In the meantime, I wanted to share a standout quote (a bold, hard question) by Brian Galbraith, a family lawyer in Ontario. He simply asks:

"Do you hate your ex more than you love your children?"

I want to believe that if you are here, at this co-parenting website, seeking information for your situation then your answer would be an absolute, powerful "NO! No, I don't hate my ex more than I love my children. I love my children and I want to know if there is HOPE for them..."

Anyone who goes through a divorce is going to have pain and difficult emotions to process; however, always keep at the forefront of your mind (and your mouth) how much YOU LOVE YOUR KIDS! Let that deep love be the motivator to keep your children out of the war. Let that love be what helps you withhold harsh comments or negative attitudes toward your ex.

We love our children! We would DIE for our children. Remind yourself of that love the next time you have a hard interaction with your ex. Write this on a post-it note and put in on your mirror:

"I LOVE MY KIDS FAR MORE than I hate my ex... I will CHOOSE my words wisely and intentionally!"

I will share the entire article with you soon...

Until then, love your kids wide open and let them see you SMILE!!
