Both my daughters are divorced from their first husbands. Oldest daughter never had much to do with her eldest two children's dad as he was always messing her around re maintenance and visiting his children. Youngest daughters ex has been a really good father ( rubbish hubby ) and co parents his children. She has had coffee with his new partner when dropping off children and although they don't share holidays or anything else, they all rub along for the sake of the kids. It is a much preferable relationship than the eldest daughters eldest kids. My youngest daughter is now with her best friends ex and they all get on great, even his daughter. It's nice seeing the girls with their step sister and everyone getting on so well.
