I attempted to do this with my husband's ex-wife since I met him well after their divorce.. But she wanted trouble and drama. This only works when the ex is content and happy, like Babyface. If the ex is miserable and bitter, it's a no-go.

[@tanyabrown6969]

I think the underlying issue is she's not happy & doesn't want peace. The best one can do in those cases is to move on. So I left her sitting in 2014 when she stated she was done with the "nice act".

Mr. Edmunds and Mr. Sanders are two of the most up standing men so far, and I hope this video sets the tone for more grown up dialog. The next generation is counting on us to conduct ourselves this way with regards to each other. It doesn't matter where we come from we need to treat each other with respect. No more drama. Thank you Oprah....

[@LOVELIVETRUTH]

Babyface is a natural healer. He exudes spiritual peace and maturity. I’m 37 and loved him really since I was first introduced to music because his music has been around pretty much all of my life.

What it really boils down to is how are you going to treat my children and don't disrespect my children's mother especially in front of my children.

This can only happen when EVERYONE is mature and puts their ego to the side. It may have something to do with their age. No one is trying to one-up anybody. Everyone seems to be comfortable and content with who they are. That's why Deon can give Babyface a sincere compliment, because he's secure in who HE is. Good stuff.

[@hannahclaire1854]

Many years ago, I read a short news story, where a judge, (African, don't know which country) was admonishing parents to stop fighting over their children. He said, "When the big elephants fight, it is the tender young blades of grass that get trampled." I clipped that out and stashed it in my wallet. That helped me when at times I was so angry with my ex I wanted to just trash him, and make everybody else feel towards him how I did, and I'd think on that, and it helped me hold my tongue.
