Keeping a Family Split Civil

As a mother of three I am really close to my kids. They are my life and I am sure if you are a reader of this blog you have children too. Well, what you may not know is that my two oldest children are to my ex. 

Ending a relationship when there are kids involved is one of the hardest things I ever had to do. But, when I weighed the pros and cons, it was in their best interest. You see the kids saw us fighting constantly and that's not a good for them to see. I didn't want them growing up seeing that and thinking that it's a normal relationship. I mean of course we all know that all couples fight sometimes and that's OK, normal and even healthy. But, there is a point where the fights are too often, inappropriate and aggressive and it's not healthy for the couple, let alone the children. 

So, when you get the point where enough is enough where do we go from there?
