I’m on mobile so more later if you want to hear it but I’ll start with this recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/Single-Girls-Guide-Marrying-Ex-Wife/dp/0451214196

It isn’t the greatest book but it provides valuable perspective and will make you feel like you aren’t alone.

I liked "The Stepmoms' Club: How to Be a Stepmom without Losing Your Money, Your Mind, and Your Marriage (A Parenting Self-Help Book to Create Happy Blended Families)" by Kendall Rose

Overall I liked it. Some things seemed obvious, some were good reminders, some I never considered, and some didn’t apply. Every person/ relationship is different so what you get out of it may vary. It was a pretty easy read - I knocked out the first half in afternoon. The key take aways for me (and what I had experienced so far) were remember transition days are tough on the kids and you, know what the divorce decree says, don’t talk shit about BM in front of kids no matter how much you want to, and odds are the relationship with BM is probably never going to be unicorns and rainbows. There were a lot of other valid points, but I think those are the bits that I remember the most and what I need to remind myself. For you, it could be different. My step kids are older (teens) so the bits for younger kids I got to gloss over

My Vote Goes to the Family Time App which has a Co-Parenting by which it would be possible for both the parents, even if they are separated to look after their children.

Let's take it this way, you both love your children and your differences as a couple cannot change that. Why let your separation affect your children mentally when you can both take care of your child with the help of a parental control app.

Even if you don't live together your child would get the care and time from you both with the help of the family time app. With the Family Time App you can:

• Minimize Family Chaos: With the built-in messenger on the family time app, stay in touch with your family and co-parent. Schedule important dates and other stuff.
• Make your presence felt: Not living with your kids would be very challenging for them. Connect and discuss issues with them which they would only tell you!
• Stay Posted: Between meetings and trips, stay posted about your child's locations to make sure that they don't end up in any problems behind your back.

Being a parent myself I advise you to install the Family Time app if you don't want your separation or divorce the bond your child has with both of the parents.

This is the book: the care and keeping of you.
