“You are the only one who can make you happy.” We have all heard that so many times in our lives. There are times it is a pretty tough pill to swallow.

Going through a divorce can really stir up emotions like margaritas in a blender. But if you’re going to be the best parent for your kids, you need to turn the blender off and learn how to keep your cool.

In the first few years of being divorced, we find that our emotions go through huge vacillations.

It’s a huge flip flop, and it’s probably something you ought to consider getting under control, because while it might be normal, in the end it isn’t productive for either you or your children. You only get one chance to raise them right.
