CA, where the ex lives and where we divorced, requires a "divorced parents" seminar; but somehow we never were required to take it. As a teacher, who has also taught parenting classes (often to divorced parents) I am well aware of the research and feel confident that I can and will do what is best for the girls. (I may fall short sometimes as there is no such thing as a perfect parent, or a perfect child -- but overall I will do well.) My failure was in not looking outside my strengths to realize that we should go to the class to address his weekness. Ah well, hindsight is always better. For now, I will continue to do the best I can and still appreciate hearing what others do to cope.
