What I Wish I Would Have Known About Co-Parenting After Divorce


Listen Later

Today I am joined by divorce specialist Janet Price. After being a child of divorce and then going through a divorce of her own, Janet has some excellent tips on navigating a co-parenting relationship. During today’s episode, she talks about her experience through her divorce, her difficulties, and the healing that took place, which left her with a huge a-ha moment. Janet provides some excellent advice about what she would have done differently if she faced a divorce with children again. Tune in today to learn how co-parenting is a learned skill and how to support your children so they can become successful adults.

In this episode:

[1:38] What led Janet to do this work? [6:12] What does Janet wish she would have known during her divorce? [11:35] How to create a co-parenting relationship when the marriage felt like you were a single parent. [13:40] What do you do if you have entirely different values/styles of parenting? [18:15] Janet’s tips on what she would do differently.

Key Takeaways:

Even if parents can’t have a civil co-parenting relationship, focusing on the children and their needs should be the highest priority. Your children will be ok as long as they have at least one strong, emotionally healthy, solid value parent to help guide them in their life.

Quotes:

“I had all the power in the world to not have that conflict, and in fact, it was what I was doing because of my history that was as I was trying to reduce it was the exact thing that was triggering my co-parent. And so that's when I decided I have this awakening, and I would like to help other parents see it so that the children do not have to experience the trauma of divorce.” - Janet Price 

“Co-parenting as the literal word can be a very broad spectrum, and that’s ok because sometimes the parents will be better off if you don’t try forcing it.” - Janet Price

“It’s ok to share your values with your children and help raise them in your values in your household, and you don't have to say anything about the other parent.” - Janet Price
