There's no question about it: your children are the most important thing in your life. But if you have gone through a messy divorce, your relationship with your children may become strained if you have to deal with a toxic ex. Your ex may bad-mouth you in front of the kids, accuse you of being a bad parent, and even attempt to replace you in the children's lives with a new partner. As a result, your children may become confused, conflicted, angry, anxious, or depressed - and you may feel powerless.

In Co-Parenting with a Toxic Ex, a nationally recognized parenting expert offers you a positive parenting approach to dealing with a hostile ex-spouse. You'll learn to avoid the most common mistakes of co-parenting, how to avoid "parental alienation syndrome", and effective techniques for talking to your children in a way that fosters an open and honest response. In addition, you'll learn how to protect your children from painful loyalty conflicts between you and your ex-spouse.

This book is a treasure if you're going through separation/divorce and need guidelines on how to deal with your alienated child. I wish, I read it earlier and I'm planning to re-read again.

Great book with great narration.

This was a difficult and painful listen for me. Not only did the authors provide me with extremely useful parenting strategies for managing a toxic ex’s influence on a child, they also illuminated several of my own blind spots and exposed my own capacity for toxicity. I am grateful for the opportunity to have my faults identified and addressed.

Highly recommend for any parent who is going through parallel parenting. With minimal to no contact from an ex partner with children.
