When we wake up and realize life is not what we imagined it would be, it creates a split in us. The best way to heal that divide is to look deep inside and find out who you are and what you want and then you will be equipped to start down a new path. Growth is hard because it is always partnered with change and grief but it is mankind’s greatest pursuit to always be wanting to be better and find greater fulfillment.
Learning how to transition to a new way of parenting is TOUGH! For your kids, living in two homes can be confusing and difficult. Part of making things easier for your kids is getting along with your co-parent. Part of getting along with your co-parent is reevaluating how you will parent in this new reality. Figuring out what is, and what is not, within your control will help you make the most of every moment you have with your kids. Divorce gives you the opportunity to rethink who you want to be and what it looks like to be the best parent you can be.
The stress of divorce pushes everyone to their very limit and then gives a good shove. Nobody is behaving the way they want to or the way they should. Sometimes a little patience will see you through but, unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there with a high-conflict personality. If you think you might be dealing with an Ex who has a personality disorder, recognizing this will be extremely helpful. You can adjust your approach and expectations and take better control of the situation.
Are your children worried about expressing their love for their other parent? When they talk about their other parent in ‘rose-colored’ terms do you worry that they will only be disappointed and heartbroken (maybe like yourself) once they learn the truth? Sometimes a little fantasy is okay for kids to feel good about themselves. At some stages of development, it’s more important for kids to feel loved by both parents and believe that they came from two good people than to know the adult ‘truth’. Allowing your child to be open and honest about all of their feelings is the best way to know what is going on in their heads and be able to support and protect them.
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.
One of the biggest things holding you back is falling into old habits and patterns of communication! If you can find a way to establish better ways of communicating your life will get a lot easier. Doing the same thing isn’t going to help you so do something different, and take your Ex by SURPRISE! By catching your Ex off guard, you’ll be able to get different responses. You’ll be on your way to a new relationship where you can co-parent without conflict.
