I cringed when both Kate and Jon talked about the kids. The called them, "my kids". Not "our kids". I know they are divorcing, but the mindset doesn't seem to be cooperation for the kids sake. Maybe it wasn't intended the way it sounds, but when they both said it, it was jarring.
I agree 100%
Here's the scenario I see in my magical crystal ball
Fast forward 10 years or probably less as savvy as kids are at surfing the internet. They search their names and see all of the “nice” things posted about their parents. They start asking questions:
Kids: Dad, why did everyone say how you cheated on mom and took your girlfriend on trips? Why were you out partying instead of being at home with us?
Jon: I did not cheat on your mother, but I did not communicate well enough to your mother how unhappy I was. I did what I thought was right, since you are MY kids.
Mom, why do all the people on the internet say horrible things about you and say that you drove daddy away and that you deserved what you got?
Kate: Yes, I was out of control and made many mistakes. I did not communicate well enough with your dad to tell him how unhappy I was. I did what I thought was right, since you are MY kids.
Kids: But you say that you love us, why didn’t you just talk and say you are sorry to each other and try to stay together…….
Parents: We should have. (if they have enough sense at that point to realize their mistakes)
Good Luck Jon and Kate with throwing your kids under the bus and not trying to save their future and yours. Pathetic.
