In the blend

If you have an ex-partner, no doubt there have been moments where you may have wanted to fire off that ranty text - or may have actually even sent it.

Family lawyer and co-author of ‘Surviving Your Split’, Rebekah Mannering, shared some very wise words of advice when it comes to communication with your ex-partner in a previous episode of In The Blend, 'Surviving & Thriving After Your Split'.

She says communication is one of the biggest issues with matters that go to court and advocates it’s important to try and give the other party the benefit of the doubt and to communicate in a way that is constructive. You can think all of the things you like about your ex, but whatever you do, she says just don’t say it.

An important takeaway from the episode with Dr. Kate Owen on 'Setting Boundaries' was the idea of - meaning, when as a parent or stepparent you come up against a rupture (a disconnection) with someone in your blended family - say a stepchild - to know this is really normal and that no human relationship is without its challenges.

Rather than worrying she says what is more important is to focus on the repair process and while it might be difficult to do, to really focus on rebuilding the relationship after the rupture has occurred in an empathic, warm and loving way.
