Navigating the Minefield of Parallel Parenting with a Toxic/Abusive Ex with Author and Life Coach Melissa Porter

When you leave an ex or a marriage that is toxic and abusive, your hell doesn't come to an end if you share children. The next leg of that journey is just beginning. If your ex is toxic, that's one thing, but if you're navigating parenting with someone who also has personality disorders ie: clinical narcissism, borderline personality disorder, etc, it truly is a soul destroying combination. BUT it's not hopeless. There are tools, tricks and, as today's guest describes them, "rules", you can follow to help mitigate some of the negative implications of that ex's behaviour on you and your children. Melissa Porter is the author of 'Mastering the Single Parent Game' and is a qualified Counsellor and Life Coach. After the ending of her marriage and through her experience navigating the dark waters of parallel parenting with a toxic ex, she found her new purpose in helping others through this shared experience. Her book is concise and to the point! And that is exactly how the conversation goes between Melissa and host Jennie on today's episode! We dive into not just tools and rules on parallel/single parenting, but also what to expect from the family court system and the friends and foes around you. If you are thinking about divorce, going through it or coming out the other side and in the throws of co/parallel parenting, this episode is a MUST listen!
