The Fourth Pillar of Parenting Your Kids

Be willing to allow their feelings and take what they tell you about how they're feeling seriously. Be prepared that your kid might want to continue to have a relationship with your x even if you aren't together any more. You don't want to make them, ah, in charge of managing things that aren't theirs to manage. Do everything you can to keep hard times from being something your kids have to manage. Fourth pillar: boundaries have excellent boundaries.
