This open letter to a woman's-ex-husbands-girlfriend is great. And exactly how every divorced parent should act when it comes to putting the kids first.

I met Jay ten years ago. Sadly, he had one son I didn't get to know. Brian had passed away a few years before we met. Jay's other awesome son, Jem, was a teenager at the time. And Jem's mom, Cathy (Jay's ex-wife), was now a part of my life too.

I adored her. I still do. She is a shining example of how a person can treat an ex's new significant other to make them feel okay about the whole, crazy dynamic. I thought of her when I read this article. Our situation wasn't quite like this one, but the warmth and welcoming kindness was the same.
