Divorce with Sam and Leah

Navigating School Events with a High-Conflict Ex—Without the Stress


Listen Later

School events, parent-teacher conferences, and sports games should be about your child—but when you’re co-parenting with a difficult ex, they can feel like an emotional minefield. If you’ve ever felt anxious, frustrated, or downright uncomfortable being in the same room as your ex at school functions, this episode is for you.

Today, we’re diving into the real challenges moms face when co-parenting with a high-conflict ex at school events—awkward encounters, passive-aggressive comments, the silent treatment, or even outright tension. I’ll share why avoiding these events isn’t the answer, how your presence impacts your child, and the mindset shifts you need to show up with confidence.

Want the exact strategies to handle these moments with grace, set boundaries without saying a word, and leave the event feeling empowered—not drained? Join us inside The Next Chapter membership for the full School Events Survival Guide workshop, where I break it all down step by step.
