All relationships have their ups and downs. Families can be a source of happiness and security but they can also be a major cause of stress in people’s lives. Family difficulties, divorce, separation and other family changes can result in big changes in life.

It is not a surprise to anyone that the divorce process often leads to arguments, resentment, and anger from both parties. The heartbreak that comes along with the separation only adds to the intensity of feelings. But as couples start to look ahead, they often wonder how they will ever be able to co-parent effectively with someone who has generated so much pain and disappointment. That is a valid concern.
