No one understood why this father sends flowers to his divorced wife - but then he exposed the amazing truth

Every couple that gets married and has kids hopes their love will last forever and that they'll live happily ever after.

But sometimes, for various reasons, that doesn't happen.

Breaking up can be really painful, whether you have kids or not. It’s easy to get angry and hold onto grudges, but honestly, that doesn’t help anyone.

This is especially true when there are kids involved. Most of us can agree that no child should be stuck in the middle of anger between two adults who have decided to go their separate ways.

In a Facebook post that went viral, a dad named Billy Flynn talked about how he dealt with his divorce. His main point is that the kids shouldn’t have to suffer because of the breakup.

Of course, not everyone can find the perfect way to handle things like this ex-husband did, and it's normal to feel angry and disappointed. But we can all learn something from this guy and his great attitude.

Here’s what Billy wrote in his post:

"I got up early, brought flowers, cards, and a gift for the kids to give to their mom, and helped them make her breakfast," he said.

"People often ask me why I still do nice things for her. This annoys me, so let me explain."

Billy shares how important it is to show his kids how to treat their mom while raising them.

"The way I treat their mom will really shape how they see and treat women and influence their views on relationships," he explains. "This is even more important in my case since we’re divorced."

We think his post is pretty clear and shares a powerful lesson for everyone.

So far, the post has been shared over 200,000 times and has gotten thousands of comments, especially from other divorced parents with young kids who really connected with his message.

As one woman commented: "When parents can't stay married, it's crucial to give kids the chance to love the other parent. Just because the parents are done with each other doesn't mean the kids are."
