I learned quite a bit from this course. I have spent a lot of time blaming the other person in the failure of our marriage and the way the kids were treated. While I still believe that there’s a lot of work that both of us need to do for our children I know with the help from this course I can co parent better and be there for my kids no matter what. These videos were actually helpful. I appreciated the honesty from the people who spoke out about there personal stories. It had made me reflect on “what actually happened” and what I interpreted. One of the main issues in my marriage is/was communication. I really enjoy this program because I felt that it made me think about my spouse’s feelings and were he was coming from when we have disagreements. I realized while taking this course where our relationship took a “left turn” and taking responsibly for my actions and choices. We are both trying to incorporate what we learned through out this course and apply to our co-parenting. I found this course easy to follow compared to the other “competitive” courses. I hope this course helps others, how its helped me. I really enjoyed this class, and feel that it will help me move forward into the next chapter of my life. I wish I would have taken this prior to all the turmoil that has been happening in my life. I think marriage classes also would have been beneficial. This gave me a better perspective on viewing my marriage and a guide for me toward a new mind set to create a future for myself. Creating a positive future for myself will be a good example to my children about overcoming a difficult time in ones life. When I have asked about including their Dad, they have stated it’s weird vibes when all of us are together. I didn’t realize but the kids do pick up on the non-verbal, as my ex and I have tried to be very careful about not “bashing” each other. The kids picked up on our general awkwardness/emotional stuff between us. Thank you for mentioning that the kids can “feel” things. By taking this class it has opened my eyes that everyone contributes to the failure of their marriage. I really enjoyed the part about “what happened” and the “interpretation”. I think (I know) we all have the interpretation and that is what we run with and tell everyone because it makes ourselves look better. I do agree that we all have to take responsibility as to the failure of our marriage and accept that, it is an important part of healing and moving forward. Very helpful program for parents going through divorce. Learn how to communicate effectively, and come up with a purposed parenting plan that puts the children first. Also, the extended 6 hours has helpful information about going through your divorce in general. At the end of my divorce, there was much enmity between me and my ex. Even now, we do not talk unless absolutely necessary, and then only in email. I was convinced she was the crazy one that went off the deep end. I was challenged to see that I am responsible for my divorce, and whatever I feel toward her, my kids’ health and future depend on me getting this right. I am determined to change our parental divide into a partnership for their benefit. this has opened my eye so much! im very thankful i had the opportunity to go through this with these two couples. lots of information to take from this. There isn’t one thing that I have learned during this course that I’m not excited to follow through on. Even though most of these things we ultimately know deep down, no one ever thinks to group together all these great steps to rebuilding one of the most important relationships we will ever have, that being the relationship of our former spouse or hopefully if executed correctly our co-parent. I really enjoyed this course overall. I learned a lot of things on how to get along with the other parent and how to make my children happy and healthy living in two homes with separated parents. I have learned great tools to help me better communicate with the father of my child which we have been lacking. I learned that no matter what I am responsible for my reactions, even if I have abuse directed towards me on a regular basis, how I react to it is all on myself. Good course, helps us learn to reflect. i learned so much from taking this course i cant wait to try everything i have learned the speakers are just amazing on what they have accomplished This course helped me take a look at my own actions that lead up to the divorce or how I handled my time with the other parent. I know I need to work on communicating better and more efficiently with the other parent, as well. Our parental communication and relationship will have an impact on our son. His future and happiness are so important and matter to me the most out of all of this. I have a restraining order against my ex husband for the physically and mentally abuse he caused to me which I will never repeat and then lashing out onto the children which also soon became excessive paddling’s. But, shockingly enough when you learn about the left turn, it clicked as to what made matters worse. I found where I took part in his person changing. I acted like I always deserved better and he wasn’t worth squat to me and my kids. They mention when a women makes more in the house it’s another stressor. I expected way to much coming into a relationship with him and it wasn’t his sole responsibility to provide everything I wanted. It was suppose to be a team effort. Noticing that I made him feel worthless in the household had that cause and effect to where his lashing out became more and more assertive and aggressive. I realize the damaged I caused and exactly where I went wrong. I put him to the standards of my princess Disney movies and I never should have done that. Very helpful!! Wasn’t expecting to end my evening doing this but I’m going to bed now. Watching these first two sections have given me a lot of things to think about. As I write this, I am in California, still trying to heal, trying to find hope, fighting depression,(it’s winning) and trying to stop feeling guilty, lonely and really missing my two little munchkins in Oklahoma where they are residing with their mother. Still angry, bitter but I am looking forward to completing the other sections tomorrow. I see my responsibility in my divorce. It is really difficult to admit my part in it but thank you to Juli and Mark for being so brutally honest! Goodnight y’allGreat course!
