Transcript: Becky (l) and Joseph (r) are standing in a room with large artwork and three lights hanging behind them. They are wearing San Francisco 9ers t-shirts and signing their story.
Joseph: Hello, I’m Joseph.
Becky: Hello, I’m Becky. We want to share a little about our experience after getting divorced.
Joseph: Yes, specifically, how we’ve been able to have a good relationship since our divorce. While going through the divorce process, we did have some conflicts and tension. Divorce is not easy, especially when it came to issues related to our son. After arguing about this, we decided to sit down face-to-face for a discussion. We agreed to forgive each other and move on, with our lives taking different paths. Also, we wanted to see our son have a good life in the future. He didn’t choose what happened to us as his parents. We wanted to show him that we both loved him fully.
Becky: I agree. Also, I didn’t want my son to grow up seeing his parents fighting all the time. It’s not healthy or good for anyone’s mental health - his or mine or Joseph’s - to be exposed to that. It helped a lot when we agreed on mutual respect for each other’s home rules. Obviously, mine are not the same as Joseph’s. We have different rules. This means when my son comes to our home, he knows the rules are different than what they are at his Dad’s house, and vice versa. There’s no issue there. We fight much less often and are better friends now.
Joseph: Thumbs up!
Becky: (nodding and smiling at Joseph)
