"Co-Parenting" is an oxymoron.

"Co-parenting" is an oxymoron.

There is no such thing as "co-parenting".

I'm sorry, but if anyone tells you they "get along" with their ex, they are either:

a) a man managed to rake his wife over the coals in the divorce, had the better lawyer who got him the better deal, and therefore has no bitterness.
b) a mother who is still in "abused wife" mode and is taking his shit when she should no longer be, but doesn't know she's doing that because she is still that delusional. I'm thinking her husband cheated on/left her, and she's still pining for him.
c) they are merely describing the manner of behavior that is used in the presence of the child to shield them from their true feelings, which does not mean they truly "get along" with their ex, but this is what they call it in front of their child.

So my blog begins. It's my "rant and rave" blog. My occasional "poor me" blog. Venting, vitriol, some imagined vengeance. Because a girl's gotta talk, right? Otherwise, I might explode. Or just crawl into a hole. Depends on the day!

So here are the thoughts of a single mom trying to survive on her own, who has lost nearly everything (except my beautiful amazing 3 year old child!!!!) in a bitter and costly 2 year divorce. Everything I have done, has been for my daughter. She is my world, and I would give mine, for her.

That said, I'm going to start.

disclaimer: folks, this is strictly my divorce-wake blog, so I'm gonna vent. I'm not hear to do anything more than that, I've got other blogs for that. So, please know that I'm not a witchy bitchy rageful divorcee, I just sound that way. Here. On my blog. So I don't become that person in real life.
Okay, maybe I'll be that person in real life sometimes, if it puts my dirty rotten ex in his place.
