Good Divorce

 I have friends that are divorced and when they have a situation with their kids they meet and discuss what they should do about it. When they want to take a vacation and can't watch the kids they call each other and talk about it. Some friends when their kids have graduation or sporting events they sit next to each other. My divorce isn't that way. I think it goes back to when I first got divorced I didn't know how to handle it. My kids' mom would tell me to do something and I didn't always do it. It has gotten to be I haven't talked to her for five years, we have been divorced for ten. During high school and college graduations we sit on opposite sides of the stands, during sporting events I am told not to go when their mom goes (which isn't very often). I feel sorry for my kids that we don't have a "good divorce", but I think a "bad divorce" is better than a "bad marriage".
