Hi, Lexie. I'm not really in the loop on your situation, and I know that others here, who are more in the know, will jump in soon with kind words, but since I was on and visiting the board, I just wanted to extend a hug to you. I do not know any of the particulars whatsoever in your dissolution of the marriage but, as you said, "2 happy homes ARE better than one bitter angry one." No questions asked, that is the truth. Just keep vigilant in making sure that you do your part in controlling what you can which is keeping your home a happy one.
Let the guilt trip from your ex-husband wash right off you. It is difficult. And, it is most difficult for your child to understand all of this, who will likely not understand until he or she is much, much older. Hopefully, someday he or she will understand, contrary to whatever guilt and false paintings by your ex-husband, what an intelligent, true and good thing you have done and are doing.
Hold your head up high and be what your child most needs, a great mother, a healthy mother, a role model, etc.
"Magical kisses!" That's great stuff! :) Some day, when I'm a daddy, I'll be lucky enough to know that kind of reward.
