Whatever your co-parenting problem – you are not alone!!! You are almost guaranteed to find someone else who has dealt with an Ex like yours. It helps to hear about how others have conquered their situation (as well as get groundbreaking advice from Text Your Ex) so that you have an easier journey forward.
Sometimes we get so locked into how we see the world and the people in our lives it is hard to move forward. If you can focus on your kids and learn to detach from your Ex, you may be able to fully separate from the marriage that was not your life’s true plan. Don’t stay trapped in the same bad marriage after you’re divorced – things can change!
Trying to get along with the person who you decided you could never get along with is ROUGH! It may be unrealistic to think things will go smoothly all of the time but how do you know what is ‘normal’ and when your relationship could – and should – be better? After all, you want your new life to be as easy as it can be so that you can focus your time, energy and thoughts on your KIDS!
So many times even when we make an effort to get along with an Ex, we can’t break our patterns of communication. We say things and hear things the way we always have. One way to begin better communication is to think about what we want and be direct in saying it. If we can be confident in our request, we create new space to negotiate and come to a mutual resolution where both parties can start to think about things in a more neutral and objective way.
Do you have concerns letting your kids go to a state that doesn’t have any restrictions? Does it not make sense why your Ex wouldn’t want your kids to come stay with you when your state has a low risk and they can play summer sports and do normal activities? Follow these steps to come to a mutual agreement when different states have different rules.
If you truly have a high-conflict Ex, and their behavior is not just due to the stress of the separation, then life will be more difficult. The sooner you can identify their personality and learn coping mechanisms for it, the better. Always keep in mind – better to co-parent with your Ex then to still be married to them! Although it will be difficult, you may need to make a few concessions and be the ‘flexible’ one only for the sake of your children. Therapy is highly recommended for people dealing with any type of high-conflict personalities.
The holidays come with lots of extra stress! Don’t let your Ex add their difficulties to the season. Learning how to co-parent peacefully is important but don’t let now be that time. Give yourself a break and delegate your stress!
