Let's talk about the weird interaction between exes who co-parent

Just to start me (30f) and my ex (37m) share 1 child together and split when our little one was 1.. We spent the next few years fighting in court and flash forward to now. We have been coparenting successfully for the last 2 years. Mind you, we couldn't even be in the same room at one point and he had a horrible girlfriend at the time that helped make every interaction my ex and I had a living hell basically. After they broke up I received an apology and now we're here. My ex and I are able to talk and we share custody. We have went on family trips and we talk, but I catch myself mid conversation thinking "I can't believe I used to be with this person", so does anyone else have similar feeling when talking to their ex? I do catch myself thinking of happy moments we had together, but also how awful he was towards me during our custody battle. I do catch myself angry at him at times too, but I never bring it up. I just remind myself that it isn't about me. It's about our kid. Anyone else want to share?
