Co-parenting
Having children with your ex does mean that at times, you will have no choice but to communicate. School, clubs, clothing, homework, holidays, parties, school trips, payments, health, diet, appointments... The list is endless. Sadly, an abuser often uses their own children in an attempt to 'punish' you. This can leave you feeling helpless, wondering - when will this ever end?
Don't Panic!
I can assure you there are ways to ensure your parenting needs are fulfilled, with your well-being still intact. Remember: Your happiness is key to being the best parent you can be, so it’s VITAL your mental health is taken care of.

First and foremost, we will establish whether or not you can co-parent with your ex. It may be that as an alternative, you will need to ‘Parallel-Parent’. This method minimises conflict, and allows you to take back control of your parenting. I can assure you, it works! It is tried and tested, and I'm ready to show you how it’s done.
​
At the same time, we can discuss the areas of co-parenting that are affecting you. Does your ex partner refuse to follow court orders? Refuse to financially contribute? Are they late at handovers? Do they spoil your child? Are your children allowed to eat what they like and stay up late? Does your ex forget to return items? I’ve seen and heard it all before. Learn how to move on from these events, and focus on raising your wonderful children with minimal pain and conflict.

It can be done.
