Can You Co-Parent with a Narcissist?

We hear pretty often that co-parenting is the best thing we can do for our children. However, those coming from an abusive relationship might find it almost impossible to be friendly with their abuser. In today's episode, we will talk about co-parenting with a narcissist, the challenges we'll find there and why it can be so triggering, and we’ll also explore an alternative to co-parenting - parallel parenting.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why co-parenting is not always a better choice for our family situation

- What the communication challenges are that make co-parenting so hard

- What parallel parenting is and how to do it properly

- Some of the mistakes I made in co-parenting that you can avoid

- Why parallel parenting is so effective in helping us keep our sanity

We need to stop punishing ourselves for not being able to co-parent with the narcissist. We are not less of a parent if we can't co-parent. We've been in an abusive relationship and our focus must be on getting better, not on making sure the abuser is feeling better. The best thing we can give our kids is a mentally stable parent, and that’s where parallel parenting can help us.
