When I divorced my Ex Husband 19 years ago, my Mama Bear mentality went into overdrive.  I was convinced that I was the only person who could love and protect Elle.  Add to that my need to prove - I'm a good Mom even if I did divorce the father of my child....... My mantra became  - Cross my kid - I'll make your life a living HELL!

Divorced Mom = Mama Bear on steroids! GRRR!!!

It's not just Divorced Moms, Divorced Dad's pretty much fall into the same trap when protecting their young.
