Tiny Pep Talks for Stepparents

Don’t give up your power.

The ex only has as much power as we’re willing to give them.

Like the Wizard of Oz, a high-conflict ex is actually just a scared little person behind a curtain who uses lots of smoke and mirrors to intimidate us.

Once we stop buying into the story that the ex is all-powerful and in charge of everything, we can create better boundaries, reclaim our own power, and restore sanity within ourselves and our households.

Don’t let a high-conflict ex talk you out of your right to parent, or your right to create firm boundaries that protect yourself and your blended family from yet more drama.

Typical co-parenting rules don’t apply when the ex is high conflict. For a more effective approach, go read our 10 Commandments of high-conflict co-parenting. xo
