My ex-husband just got an amazing job. One he has worked toward for many years, and one that is well-deserved. It’s not often that one former spouse is excited and happy for the other, but in this case it’s true. I’m happy for him and for what his career has become, and where his future is going to take him. It was not easy and it took a long time, but he stuck with it and has realized a dream.
Now, to be sure, we don't always get along and we don't always agree. We don't always have the same ideas about what is best for our children, what they should or shouldn't do, or what we should or shouldn't do; but when we disagree, we try to keep it between us. We have tried hard, and succeeded most times, to keep the children out of the middle. And we have tried and mostly succeeded to present a united front when our kids needed it.
We are not perfect, we never were, we have made mistakes, we have said things we shouldn't have and things we regret; but we were also there at the beginning of each other's careers, at the beginning of a family, at the beginning of a time when our future was uncertain and we did not know where we would land. And knowing all of that, and taking all of that in, I say to him: Well done, sir! Congratulations and all my best for what you have accomplished and should be very proud of.
