How do you cope with having to share a 1 year old during a divorce? She is so young?

This is unfortunate because she is soooo young. However, probably better in the long run. She will not have to go through the maladjustment as older kids do.





It was extremely hard for me last year sending my 2 and 4 year old with their father. Yes, good person but has no patience and just does not care. The first weekend I remember crying the entire weekend; not just for my kids but also for the end of our marriage and family unit. I learned to plan ahead. Make plans to do things when you do not have your kids. Nothing major something simple. Ex. Clean out the closet, clean out old baby clothes, watch a movie, rent a movie, have dinner with a friend, or drinks, go to the book store, mall, walmart, park, keep busy





Find something either to do or a new hobby to begin during off times. This will be a lifesaver and will allow you to focus on something other than the baby. Because if you obsess over the child, you will become depressed.





If you can not talk to him, email your medicial concerns and also call to talk with your child. Sure I know that she is 1 but she needs to hear your voice and reassurance. Ask for pictures if they go some place and do the same for him.





It is extremely difficult to split a child. Our motherly intuition kicks in very quickly and we give birth to them. Also, it is hard because you do not know where he is bring her or if he is accurately spending time with her. Remember you can only control you. I feel for you and good luck.How do you cope with having to share a 1 year old during a divorce? She is so young?
You have to remember that the child's other parent loves her, too... and in so loving the child, would not put her into harm's way.





You may not like or trust your ex, but i'm sure the child needs the other parent in her life. Just let them have their relationship.How do you cope with having to share a 1 year old during a divorce? She is so young?
I have a daughter that is 1 yr. old. She goes to her dads every other weekend and pretty much whenever he wants her. It might be hard at first but, it is what is best for the child, to have both her parents in her life.
I misread the question...You be her mom and love her to the fullest and always stay calm and be civil when her dad comes around. Never talk bad about daddy and you will be fine.
You think of the child's needs first.


You act like parents who don't have to like each other but need to be very peaceful so the child grows up healthy and happy.
You share her because you are mom an dad !!


She did,nt ask for this to happen


But she is part of both of you .
if you BOTH think of your daughter first.. you won't get a divorce


you will work on your marriage
