Communication with ex has been way better lately

Not sure if it's because the anger wore off or we both just got tired of the drama but things have actually been pretty civil the last few months. We text about the kids stuff and she even asked my opinion about which school to pick. Still not getting back together obviously but I'm just grateful we can actually work together now. Anyone else experience this kind of thaw after the initial split?

This is huge. I'm in the same boat with my ex. Turns out we're both just tired of the stress. The kids are happier when we're not at war all the time. Plus it makes pickup and drop-off so much easier.

The anger wearing off is real. After a while you just realize that holding onto it only hurts your kids. Glad things are getting better for you man.

This is what success looks like in co-parenting. You two figured out that you're on the same team even if you're not together.

Glad to hear it's getting easier. Takes some time but when you stop fighting and start actually co-parenting, everything gets better for the kids. Keep that momentum going.

That's a win right there. I've found that once the initial anger settles, you both realize you're on the same team when it comes to the kids. The peace is worth way more than being right.
