The Gay-dy Bunch: Rosie, Kelli, the Kids, a New Relationship...Well, You Know

Found this on Huffington Post re: Rosie, Kelli, and their kids, and how they are moving on in life with Kelli and Rosie's new way of being co-parents even though they are no longer partners.

There were some telling moments, or moments I want to tell about like this in the dissolution and re-imaginging the relationships:

"It was a long transition and we tried for a long time to see different ways we could make it work," she said. "We're still a family, and the kids always knew that and they knew we were trying to be happy and not have fights."

Rosie and Kelli still live near each other in Nyack, New York, and spend plenty of time together with their kids as a family. Rosie said that gay couples have an easier time maintaining a friendship after the relationship is over.

"Gay breakups are not really very similar to heterosexual breakups because the paradigm with heterosexuals is there is a specific date when everything ends," she said. "That's not how it was with us. We're still a family, and the kids always knew that and they knew we were trying to be happy and not have fights."

Well done, Rosie and Kelli and kids.
