I am continuing to talk to Dr. Thandi.  She is a divorced mother of two who after being betrayed by her husband, now has to coparent with him and his side piece.  It ain't going good!

Like the word "petty" I think the word "co-parent" is used without thought. Women, lawyers, legislators, and counselors  haven't really thought about the impossibility of working jointly with someone who is unreasonably angry and, by the nature of their actions, not acting in the best interests of their children.  

Dr. Thandi and I discuss two alternative words, parallel parenting and counter parenting.  I'm interested to know what you think.
