Communication with ex has been getting better

May 6·1 min read

After a really rough two years, my ex and I finally started using that app for parenting coordination instead of texting. It sounds stupid but having everything documented and organized has actually made things way less tense. We're not friends but we're not enemies anymore either. Just wanted to share that it's possible to get to a better place even when things start out rough. If you're struggling with communication I'd honestly recommend trying one of those apps.

Real talk, this is one of the biggest wins in co-parenting. The kids feel it when parents aren't at war. How long did it take before things actually felt different?

This is the kind of win that doesn't sound like much until you're living it. Communication improvements like this actually make everything else easier too.

This is awesome to hear. Two years is a long time to be in that rough space. What finally made both of you willing to try something new?

That app switch is huge, man. Not stupid at all - having everything documented and neutral takes so much of the emotional charge out of things. Glad you're both seeing the benefits after a rough stretch.

That's huge. Which app are you using? I've heard good things about a few of them but honestly the fact that you two are both willing to try something is what makes the difference. Glad things are improving.
