Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Cherie on June 18, 2018

Like many self-help books most of the prose is focused on identifying the issue. When issues find resonance with the reader emotional dirt gets stirred up. This book is like that.

Goodreads review by Kami on July 17, 2017

So I originally thought this book was about co-parenting, and while it touches on that from time-to-time, it focuses mainly on building a relationship with your child that will stand up to your ex trying to tear it apart. I really enjoyed it. There are, of course, parts that spoke more to me than ot......more
