Jennifer Garner has learned a lot while co-parenting with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
In a recent appearance on Bustle’s 'One Nightstand' podcast, the 'Alias' actress, who separated from Affleck in 2015, discussed the sacrifices involved in raising their three children.
“When your kids grow up in two separate households, I become both mom and dad, and he becomes dad and mom,” Garner explained. “You don’t have the balance of both parents in one house, so you need to blend both roles in your parenting.”
She added, “There’s some loss in that, but also something gained. It’s taught me to let go and not fixate so much on how to raise them.”
Indeed, breakups are never easy, especially when there are kids involved. It can be quite challenging to work together to raise a child, when clearly the relationship ended because something wasn't right. However, while some struggle to make co-parenting work, others manage it and seemingly to do so with fairly little drama.
