Ha! That is awesome! It wasn't me but I hope whoever did is local to you! ;)

By the way, you and Dakota both crack me up with the way you weave those links into your posts. Hers about the benefits of colon cleanse or whatever gave me a chuckle.

I know this won't make me popular, but I think it is sad that anyone would say something that disrupts the process you and Dakota are in. I know it is hard, but the better your relationship is with each other, the happier your children will grow up. It is very sad that you are going through this. And yes, it speaks well of you that you gifted Dakota like that under the circumstances, but I simply thought "Wow. Casey really has class."

I hope you will both continue to have the best relationship as parents. That never ends, and someone who says or does anything that makes that a less dedicated effort should be ashamed. I wish it weren't happening, but the reality is what it is. Be good parents, Casey and Dakota. Don't let fools draw you away from the business of getting along for the kids sake.

Lynilu: We are actually getting along quite well. Dakota found humor in the comment which she then released for public consumption. Not only that, but then she shared it with me and we had a good laugh together.

It's all good and we are doing the best we can to get along and to take care of the children together.

I dare think we are getting along better now than we have in a long, long time.

I also was sad to read that comment. Nobody should take part in commenting about a relationship that they were not in. PERIOD. Our job as friends/readers is to support and love not to give opinion or judgment.

Anyhow - I continue to hope and pray that the beautiful kids that you share remain the center and that you both find happiness in the future while you cherish the many years you had together.

Heidi,
I guess if Dakota and I were in a different space about all this it would bug us but the fact is, Dakota was ok with releasing it (remember, we moderate the comments) and then commenting on it. She then shared it with me.

Really and truly, we are doing ok with getting along and can laugh at a lot of things we couldn't have laughed at before.

It's all about the kids and taking care of them and together, we are going just that.

It's ok. We're both ok.

Lynilu this won't make me popular....I have to disagree with you......I HATE my ex with every part of my being and both of my kids have grown up really good people....I have never and will never speak ill of my ex infront of my children (they're 27 30) However they both know I don't care for him.....and I would never buy him anything.....That just shows what a good person Casey is....We had a bad divorce (he left me for another women when my children were very small) I hope Casey and Dakota can stay friends it will make everything good....like weddings, babyshowers etc......

Casey, I'm glad to hear that, and I'll tuck my hackles back into their relaxed position. You and I have "talked" enough that you know I want the best for the kids, as well as for you and Dakota, and that means you two having a mutually respectful relationship. I think you can do it. I guess my protective mama/gramma came out in that tirade. Sorry about that, and thanks for the update/ clarification.

Stacey said...

I think the comment is awesome!

Dakota said...

I agree with all Casey has said here. I did not have to release the comment and have chosen not to release some disrespectful comments. I figured it would make Casey feel good. I wanted a chance to agree that Casey is an amazing woman. As for being disrespectful to me, the anonymous poster has no power in this part of Oz.

Oh good. Glad to see you both could laugh about it. And I'm happy to see you both are getting along.
