In a very lengthy post, the 32 year old star posted a cute selfie with her daughter and spoke about her approach to co-parenting.
Mona revealed that the journey has been challenging but has chosen to find the positive in everything pertaining to co-parenting.
The actress shared these tips for her followers who are on the co-parenting journey:
- Be the peacemaker, not the aggressor
- Remember that your child has an independent relationship with both of you
- Choose what’s best for the child
- Be graceful in the face of adversity
- Choose to walk away from conflict rather than make things worse
- Heal your own pain so you don’t function from EGO
- Don’t make your drama with your co-parent your child’s problem
- PRAY!!!!
The actress also revealed that even though she grew up without her father, she has made a choice to not keep her daughter from hers.
“As a mother who grew up without her dad, I made a choice that no matter what happens, my daughter will never have to suffer me trying to keep her from hers.
I choose love and light above all the darkness. Even when it takes every ounce of my strength to do so,” she said.
