Co-Parenting Successfully
One of the emails that was sent to Tom from his ex-girlfriend said: “Isn’t it cool that Jack got a reading award!? He gets to wear a reading star pin now too. So proud.” Tom’s response was: “He is such a smart boy. And he is a hard worker. I’m so proud of him.”
Psychologists Impressed
Psychotherapist Rachel Sussman, who is the author of The Breakup Bible, said that their email exchanges are a model example of exes who are co-parenting. According to Sussman: “Just because a relationship ends, that doesn’t mean you have to spend the rest of your life being nasty to your ex.” Tom and Bridget truly exemplify that.
