The Single Mom’s Post-Divorce “100 Days” Series Captivates Hanoi with Unfiltered Glimpses of Co-Parenting Bliss

The post-divorce parenting journey of Bach Duong and Viet Hai has captivated the online community.

3 December, 2024

No one wants a divorce, for a child to grow up without the companionship of one of their parents. However, each family’s circumstances are unique, and even in the case of divorce, many couples remain extremely civil. They maintain a good relationship and respect each other as they co-parent and raise their children. A great example of this is the story of a beautiful Hanoi hot mom, Nguyen Bach Duong, and her experience of “being friends with her ex-husband after their divorce.”

Bach Duong and her ex-husband, Viet Hai, have gone viral on social media recently with their “100 Days After Divorce” series, featuring adorable videos that have truly inspired women facing difficulties in their marriages or those who are single mothers.

Remaining Close Friends with Her Ex-Husband, They Regularly Visit Each Other to Care for Their Child

Can you share a bit about your current marital situation and your relationship with your ex-husband?

We have mutually decided to divorce, and the paperwork has been submitted to the court. We are just waiting for a few more procedures to finalize everything.

Even though we are no longer legally husband and wife, we remain good friends. We even consider each other as family, co-parenting and supporting each other in our lives.

As a mother, have you ever regretted your decision to divorce?

I think any mother would not wish for this to happen, and everyone hopes to provide their child with a complete family. But at this point, if you ask me if I regret the divorce, I would say no.

We have been through a lot together, and this is not the first time we have separated. Previously, we were separated for a year, and then for the sake of our child, we gave our relationship another chance. This means we have tried very hard to make it work, but in the end, the divorce was our final decision.

In your eyes, what kind of father is your ex-husband?

He is not a skillful or meticulous father when it comes to taking care of our child, but his strength lies in his diligence and focus on earning money to provide for the family.

He may not be as hands-on as a mother, but he shows his love for our child in other ways, ensuring that our child never lacks anything and always has the best of everything.

What challenges have you faced as a single mother, and is there a particular story or memory that stands out?

I am a strong and resilient person, so being a single mother was not a devastating challenge for me.

However, I remember a time when our child fell ill in the middle of the night, and it was just me and my elderly mother taking care of him. During such times, I did feel a bit lonely and overwhelmed.

Can you describe how you and your ex-husband coordinate in raising your child post-divorce?

Working in the education sector, I believe in a civilized divorce, and we share similar views on parenting. Currently, as our child is still young, living with the mother is the most suitable arrangement. My ex-husband provides financial support for our child’s needs.

To ensure our child doesn’t feel neglected, we always make time to care for our child together, such as having meals at each other’s homes and taking our child out on weekends. Every day, my ex-husband also video calls to talk to and check on our child.

In my opinion, men and women have different approaches to parenting. In the future, when our child is older, we will consider who can provide a better environment and financial stability and make a decision accordingly.

Thriving as a Single Mother and Becoming Even More Beautiful with a Simple Secret

How have you managed the financial aspects of being a single mother?

I’ve been earning my own money since I was 17 or 18 years old, so I didn’t feel overwhelmed or insecure about my ability to provide for my child financially.

I am confident in my knowledge and diverse skill set, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to give my child the best life possible.

Being a single mother can be challenging, yet you remain so beautiful. Do you have any secrets to share?

I feel fortunate to have my mother, my child’s grandmother, by my side as we navigate this journey. Having her support gives me more free time to work, earn money, and take care of myself.

I’ve always been someone who takes great care of myself, both in terms of knowledge and physical appearance. I never allow myself to appear disheveled or unkempt in front of others.

In addition to a healthy diet, I believe that maintaining a positive mindset is crucial. We should try to minimize negative emotions to prevent toxins from affecting our bodies and, consequently, our appearance.

What are your plans for the future of your family?

I will strive to provide the best life for my child and me, ensuring we have good food, clothing, and access to quality education. If our financial situation allows, I may even consider sending my child abroad for further studies.

Are you concerned about how your incomplete marriage will impact your child, and how are you preparing your child to accept this reality?

I am aware that our imperfect marriage will inevitably affect our child. My ex-husband and I have discussed this, and we are committed to minimizing any negative impact on our child.

Currently, we are achieving this by maintaining a friendly relationship and co-parenting peacefully. We make an effort to be present together whenever possible, so our child understands that we still respect and care for each other.

As our child grows older and becomes more aware, we will gradually explain our situation to them. I believe our child will accept it in the best possible way.

Has your incomplete marriage affected your belief in love, and do you plan to start a new romantic relationship?

As someone with an artistic soul, having studied fine arts and graduated from an art school in London, I still believe in the beauty of love. It may come and go, but I trust that when one love story ends, another will begin. Sometimes, the next love can be even more beautiful and lasting.

That’s why I remain positive, but at this point, I don’t think it’s the right time for a new relationship. I have many plans and projects that require my focus and time, so dating or falling in love may have to wait.
