Is it really that unusual?

For people to say this?
My husband and I split last year in April 2018. We both found new partners very quickly and despite it being a huge shock to my ex, we are now both blissfully happy. We told our child that we were separating in July 2018 and introduced the new partners in January of this year. He is 8 years old and has been absolutely fine throughout all of this. In fact, although me and his dad never fought in front of him and seemed very happy, he still says he is pleased we have split as it means he gets to meet lots of new people through our partners.
He gets lots of presents at Christmas and birthdays and is a very happy child. My friends keep telling me how lucky I am that it has all worked out so well and that our child has accepted everything from the start and given us no problems. Is it really that unusual?

Wow. I’m so very happy for you all.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it were like that for everyone?

@Oneofthestormboys We are lucky. Very fortunate I guess that we both found our true soulmate months after ending our marriage. And the fact our son is more than happy with everything.

We had 3 kids when we split. We did our best to minimize the effects on the kids. 15 years later one decides they are trans another that they are gender queer. Effects can manifest eventually.

@Steve42 That may have happened regardless of the split. If my son made that decision I would not necessarily put it down to me and his dad splitting up.

@Jenni855 And it may not be. Just it was the son who stayed with me with no female roll model became transgender. My Daughter, who stayed with her mom is gender queer. I don't know. I'm sure a lot of things go into it.

Yes. It is out of the norm.
