In this episode we explore what it is like to go from marriage, to divorce, and then to co-parenting. In the beginning Kelly recalls not really knowing who she was, while her ex was colder and harsher once the divorce began to take shape. Because they grew up together, she feels they were able to find a friendship in the process and as a result of that she is currently friends with him and his current wife.

Kelly’s belief is that what we experience is on purpose, placed in our path to help us work out and grow from. Because the kids were important to her and her ex, she focused on creating the next white picket fence for them. Providing her kids a support structure that was and continues to be strong. 

Ultimately, she believes that what the kids need is for their adults to be okay. “If my ex and I can show up for them happy and content, then we have done our job”.
