Navigating the stormy seas of separation becomes even more challenging when you're tethered to a high-conflict ex-partner, doesn't it?
In this episode, I don't shy away from my trademark honesty as I tell it like it is when you share one or more children with a controlling person.
As your guide, I bring to light the often hidden realities of parallel parenting, laying bare the truth that working amicably with a controlling ex might be as realistic as finding a unicorn!
This episode peels back the layers of what it truly means to parent alongside someone whose behaviours could echo the hallmarks of a personality disorder, such as narcissism. This discussion is candid, and I unravel the emotional threads that bind us to the hope of collaborative co-parenting - and how to cut them for the wellbeing of our children and ourselves.
