 Empowering you with the skills and tools  needed to effectively "co-parent", and build a  foundation of resilience to dramatically reduce conflict with your  co-parent. 

Co-parenting with a narcissist may feel like the most impossible thing ever. 

Living with your narcissist Ex was hell and divorcing a narcissist or leaving a narcissistic partner is never an easy thing. But that’s over. You now find yourself being removed from them and as single parent having to "co-parent" with a toxic person or Narcissist.  Your Ex isn’t completely out of your life. You still need to interact with them because you have children together. But "co-parenting" with a narcissist isn’t easy, but There are ways to make it more peaceful, comfortable and safe for you and your children. 

It is important to change your approach and your mindset in ways that allow you to take more control of what you can. It has been common for your ex to have an incessant need to goat you or rile you up, so it is important to make sure you don’t feed into this.  Reach out to your support system for help. Try to locate groups support groups or certified life coaches or therapists who have gone through this and have co-parented with a narcissist. This is where you will find many answers to your questions, and find guidance to see you through the journey.  Even though it seems impossible, it is possible, and it starts with you and your mindset. I have gone through this and learned that changing my mindset while dealing with a narcissist or toxic people  really is the key to a more peaceful and safe environment for the children and yourself. 

Above all else, keep the line of communication open with your child — and keep breathing. You can do this.
