Ep 209: Why Coparenting Feels Like a Trap (And What to Do Instead)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if “coparenting” isn’t failing because you are doing it wrong?
And instead, it is not working because the map you were given on how to do it is not meant for “coparenting” with someone abusive.
The way that our system is designed sets a huge trap for protective parents who want to do everything they can to protect their children and allows for someone who uses coercive control to maneuver in ways that continue to abuse.
While there are many traps that happen within this larger system, three of the ones that seem to impact protective parents the most are:
- Attempting to be the perfect parent
- Attempting to convince your child of the truth about the other parent
- Parenting from a reactionary stance and survival mode.
And all of these traps do not allow you to show up as the parent you want to be.
In this episode, I share the reasons for these traps and a starting point for maneuvering around them so that you can parent from a values-based perspective rather than from fear.
