Ep 116: Choosing My Battles When Coparenting with My Narcissistic Ex


Listen Later

Is it easy for you to choose what battles to fight and what battles to let go of when you are co-parenting with your abusive and narcissistic ex-partner?

Many of the survivors I have worked with struggle to make this decision based on the judgments of others, the self-doubt, and the weight that their decisions may carry for their children.

In this episode, I want to guide you through some questions that you can use to assess whether the battle in front of you is worth fighting or not in a way that will keep your children safer and minimize the negative impacts on your mental health. We will also look at ways to respond to others when they do not agree with your decision.

The questions are broken up into the following categories:

  • Safety Implications
  • Legal Implications
  • Co-parenting/Day to Day
  • Personal Boundaries/Healing/Moral Injury
