Under those circumstances there is usually No peace. If any of you on here had anything to do with the breakup of your spouse’s former marriage, you deserve all the grief you have to take.

I have a very difficult ex-situation (his, not mine), and just about everything she does gets under my skin. I don't want my feelings for her to bleed over into the way I treat the children. Thanks for the steps on finding peace. It seems as if the blogosphere is talking directly to me today.

I especially like the idea of the "ex-orcism." At one point after my divorce, I wrote a long, emotional letter to my ex and fortunately I had the good sense to burn it so little prying eyes at home would never see it. But that simple act made it easier to deal with the ex in a more rational manner. Looking forward to hearing more about you. Melissa, great article about dealing with an ex.

It is a "maturing" process to learn that doing what is right and the best thing for the kids doesn't always "feel good", but after you let go to some of the stuff you cannot control it is amazing the peace that comes. Thank you for sharing your authentic self and a not so great moment for you, keeps it all real for everyone. I am sure early on in my blended family I spoke things that I shouldn't have.....I know better now! :-) Great post Melissa!
