When I married my husband, I thought we had a crystal-clear understanding about my role in his children’s lives. I was to be a positive presence, a role model, and someone who treated them well — but never a stand-in parent. I never wanted children of my own, so that arrangement suited us both perfectly… […] More
Family dynamics can become especially tense when co-parenting arrangements collide with personal life decisions. Navigating boundaries, responsibilities, and expectations between ex-partners often leads to disagreements—especially when one parent makes a major life change that could indirectly affect the shared child. Questions about what should be communicated, what qualifies as a “need to know,” and who […] More
