    We all have exes, and many of us are dealing with exes who are difficult and uncooperative. Since there is not much we can do to change who they are or what they act like, we can only focus on ourselves. There are things we can do to make these interactions more pleasant.

    • Work on better communication
    • Treat your relationship with the ex as a business transaction
    • Seek help from your ex's family members or friends
    • Respond without reacting
    • Don't fight back
    • Don't seek revenge
    • Don't use the kids as messengers
    • Don't try to change your ex
    • Find support for yourself
    • Stay consistent

And some special words of encouragement for my fellow non custodial parents.

    1. Have empathy
    2. Don't make it difficult for your child to communicate with their parent
    3. Keep the lines of communication open

    5. Don't make them uncomfortable at these events.

    5 tips for the partner of the non custodial

    Because of hurricane Irma, there is not a topic this week. My family and I have been preparing for this storm, as it is threatening to hit my state of Florida.

    In the meantime, listen to my special song by songfinch, that was created for my bonus children! See the lyrics below!

    Sometimes reminiscing

    Feels like yesterday to me

    When you met 10 years ago

    With your dad at Mikkey D's

    And since then you've gotten close

    Happy she could watch you grow

    She could say she loves you both

    But then you already know

    Already know, no love is lost

    From 2 young kids to young adults

    The whole time with you has been awesome

    Wouldn't trade it for a second

    It's a blessing

    When she step into the house and see you all

    Always know that you can call

    Anytime you need to talk

    So she can say she proud of both of you

    She think your the bomb, bomb, bomb

    Glad to be your second mom, mom, mom

    Honestly she just gets glad again

    Heart so full of love

    She had somebody write some raps

    To send to Shawnie and to Madison

    When you came in my life

    That's when it changed for me

    And I love you so much

    So glad that I could be in your life

    Promise you could count on me

    But you both already know it

    This right here's a bonus song

    Yeah, you both already know it

    This right here's a bonus song

    Yeah yeah, you both already know it

    This right here's a bonus song

    Now Shawnie is sincere

    A good heart that makes you cheer

    He loves music, he loves football

    Pick a concert he'll appear

    And he looks just like his dad

    Makes you smile from ear to ear

    Your stepmoms your biggest fan

    Just in case that wasn't clear

    Madison she's super driven

    Super strong, in it to win it

    A competitive cheerleader

    No one's better

    When she goes for something

    Both got hearts of gold

    And their talents all their own

    Your stepmom loves how you've grown

    And turned the house into a home

    Here's her way to say she's proud of you

    She think your the bomb, bomb, bomb

    Glad to be your second mom, mom, mom

    Honestly she just gets glad again

    Heart so full of love

    She had somebody write some raps

    To send to Shawnie and to Madison

    When you came in my life

    That's when it changed for me

    And I love you so much

    So glad that I could be in your life

    Promise you could count on me

    But you both already know it

    This right here's a bonus song

    Yeah, you both already know it

    This right here's a bonus song

    Yeah yeah, you both already know it

    This right here's a bonus song

    When you came in my life

    That's when it changed for me

    And I love you so much

    So glad that I could be in your life

    Promise you could count on me

    But you both already know it

    This right here's a bonus song

    Yeah, you both already know it

    This right here's a bonus song
