Before you can make things better, you have to stop making them worse... Have you considered that being critical, judgmental, or invalidating toward the other parent, no matter what she or he just did will only make matters worse? Someone has to be do something. This means finding the motivation to stop making things worse, learning how to interrupt your own negative responses, body language, facial expressions, voice tone, and learning how to inhibit your urges to do things that you later realize are contributing to the tensions.

I love those moments where you see maturity in the kids... . where you see that they can be an adult... . where they are advocating for themselves in a healthy way.

Good going, DG!

You are so great, DG! 

I am really struggling at the moment, so it is super sweet to see how beautifully this unfolded for your family.  Whoever said "Misery Loves Company" probably had BPD, or was describing someone with BPD... . because in my book, there is nothing like hearing how lovely you and your SD were to each other to cheer up someone on a bad transition day!
