And I wish I could say that being the “bigger person”
miraculously changes an ex’s bad behavior.
Chances are it won’t. What it
will do, however, is create a more positive experience for a child stuck
between two warring parents.
One
anecdote I share with parents every season is Alec Baldwin vs. Kim
Basinger. After a nine year marriage,
Baldwin and Basinger waged war with an eight year custody battle, involving $3M
in court costs and legal fees, and 90 + court proceedings. Who benefited from
that?
