HOW TO LET GO
I’m Not The Fun Parent — And I’m Finally OK With That ([link removed])

“My ex-husband and I split amicably many years ago,” writes Diana Park today. “Our kids are now teenagers but the one thing that grated on me for years is how I took on the role of the day-to-day organizer, from doctors' appointments to fielding calls from school. In other words, I’ve been the default parent ([link removed]) , which means my ex has gotten to be the fun parent. And I’ll be honest, I struggled with it — a lot.”

So what changed her perspective? Read and find out. It’s really sweet, actually.

From The Confessional: ‘I Don’t Think I’ve Ever Loved My Husband’ ([link removed])

Today’s topic from the Scary Mommy Confessional is the big D — divorce. And boy, people have got some stuff to get off their chests. “I don’t think I’ve ever loved my husband. I can’t get divorced, b/c I’d have to pay him alimony,” says one reader. Another is a little more wistful: “No matter how much you hated him in the lead up, it’s normal to be sad and miss him once it’s final.” If you want to spill, the link is here ([link removed]) .
