My daughter's ex does nothing he is expected to do, breaks all his promises and doesn't participate in any meaningful way in the parenting of his son. It is very easy and natural to focus on the things he does or doesn't do that are wrong. But what is really exciting is to discover the opportunity he presents to us to practice being accepting, non-judgmental and at peace with the way life is. Indeed, we could go so far as to thank him for giving us this opportunity to practice our spiritual skills, including radical acceptance and the choice to meet what life brings us with an attitude that there is nothing wrong here.
Life is short; learn peace.
