Without question, the thing that stands out that completely has allowed for a letting go and a healing and becoming whole again after that really difficult time was not just saying that we were gonna co-parent, but really walking the walk in a beautiful way. I mean, Kyle and I, to this day, now our kids are just turned 20 and turning 24 next week.

And we're not only good friends who respect each other, but now his wife, who he married only a couple of years after we divorced. So she's been step-mom to my boys for decades. I like to say that we consciously uncoupled before Gwyneth and Chris Martin made it a thing because it was about the same time and it was very much the same approach. It's like...

God, we've seen how this can go and we know how it can be. And who does it hurt? It's, it hurts the kids. It's poisonous to hold onto that anger and be contentious. And it's just, it serves no one. And so it wasn't the flip of a switch, but it was definitely baby steps in that first year where it's, you know, it's still a little awkward.

It's still, of course, like the, the pain is still new and it's difficult, but we were always, always communicating the best we could. We were kind as much as we could be. When other partners came into the mix, there was a real respect level there. And I'll give you an example of that because we had been divorced about a year and Kyle had met Sarah, his now wife, and there was a birthday party.

And I remember he called me again, the respect. I mean, God, I feel so fortunate because I know a lot of women don't have this and or men, but it's like, He called me and he said, I have met someone we've been dating for six months or whatever it was. And I'd really like to bring her to Austin's party. Are you okay with that?

And, you know, you can imagine it's like the first, you know, anybody that's not you. And mind you, we'd been together for 12 years. We were college sweethearts. We'd had, you know, we were so close and yeah. And I just was immediately like, thanks for asking. And sure, that's fine. Bring her to the party. And of course, all my girlfriends are like, oh, what? Oh my gosh, who is she?

What's her name? All these things. But I was like, we're moving forward. I mean, I think I luckily had enough emotional intelligence even back then to be like, if we're moving on, what's the past is the past. We're all moving towards our futures. And she could not have been happier better at that party. She came up to me during the cake cutting and literally said, is there anything you need?

Can I help? And I said, yeah, I'm going to cut the cake and you can scoop the ice cream. And it literally started like that. And we're friends to this day. We even have a working relationship. And so I think the healing was possible because there really was still aversion of love there.
