A Promise.

I promise that I will not in any way put my children in the middle of any dispute I may have with their mother/father, and that I will put my children’s best interest above everything else. I will not make disparaging comments to them about their mother/father, use my children as pawns or leverage, or try to turn my children against their mother, no matter how angry I may be. I will focus on enjoying and making the most out of the time I have with my children, and will encourage my children to have a good relationship with their mother/father. I will keep in mind that my children are innocent bystanders in this process, and it is up to both of us to protect them. I will remember that my overall goal is to raise happy, well adjusted children who have a healthy relationship with both parents.
