When divorced co-parents need to help their child grieve while protecting new relationships

My ex-husband and I share custody and we've both moved on to new relationships, but our teenage daughter keeps trying to get us back together and we don't know how to handle her grief about our divorce while also protecting our new boundaries. She's acting out with both of our new partners and we're struggling to present a united front when we're still processing our own losses.

More people experience this than they realize.
