How do you handle coparenting when your spouse (or soon to be ex) is behaving more like a kid? There may be underlying issues like substance use, neurodiversity or they just may be (much) less responsible than you wish they were.

How do you navigate things like shared custody and lifestyle decisions for your kids, when they just aren't in the same place?

Karen & Diane challenge our listeners to explore their part in the dynamic, and discuss the fine line between having compassion and caretaking (or even co-dependency!) They also will provide some concrete tools to make solid decisions from a place of discernment rather than from fear.
