What happens when “healthy co-parenting” becomes a trap?

In this episode, Livi North breaks down the difference between co-parenting and parallel parenting — and why so many people stay emotionally stuck trying to force cooperation with someone committed to conflict.

We cover:

• what healthy co-parenting actually looks like
• signs cooperation is no longer realistic
• why communication becomes weaponized in high-conflict dynamics
• the emotional burnout that pushes many parents toward parallel parenting
• real-world examples of control, baiting, and endless conflict cycles
• why reducing engagement is often healthier for both you and your kids

If you have ever thought:

“Why does every conversation turn into a fight?”
or

“Am I giving up if I stop trying so hard?”

…this episode is for you.
