keep the hateful outta here.

dear divorcing parents,

Please keep your hateful comments to yourself. Your children do not need to know how mad you are at their parent or how awful you think they are. 

Here's the thing, it may no longer be your significant other but it IS still your child's parent. You embarrass them when you passive aggressively make digs at the other parent to others or post it all over social media for people to see. This is not the appropriate way to handle your pain. In reality, you may be embarrassing your children and making yourself look immature.

There is probably validity to what you're saying about the other parent, they aren't perfect but neither are you. You probably should be mad sometimes and they probably are wrong sometimes. Making everyone think your ex is awful while pretending to be the perfect ex is not true and it will come back to bite you. 
I hope and pray that you will consider the feelings and emotions of your children before you react out of anger.

sincerely,
the big sister
