This has got to be THE hardest divorce and co-parenting scenario.  I talked to Miki McWade who wrote a book about running twelve step divorce support groups--she's helped hundreds of divorced people over the years and she told me nothing is worse.   She made me feel a lot better about my situation.  I'm an older divorced woman, who adopted a child with my ex when I was 55.  He had an affair with a co-worker who he left me for when my daughter was two, moved in with her immediately, and my child started visiting with the two of them. 

When I run into divorced women my age who complain about having to deal with running into their ex at family events, I envy them.  I have to deal with my ex day in and day out and I have never been able to accept the situation--partly because they two of them are so downright nasty to me--they blame me for all my daughter's problems.  She had a breakdown after the divorce and somehow it became MY fault.  They are better at handling her than I am.  There are two of them and the new wife is, of course,  much younger than me.  I could go on but I don't want to burden you with my bitterness.

I would like to hear how others deal with this kind of co-parenting hell?
