There's a tendency to act like parallel parenting is the shameful option we only resort to because we've failed at co-parenting somehow. But when you're dealing with a high-conflict ex, co-parenting is not possible, because they will never compromise. In fact their inability to compromise is literally the thing that makes them high conflict.
So if you've been beating yourself up over your inability to co-parent with a difficult ex... please don’t. Parallel parenting is a perfectly valid approach to raising kids in two different homes. And there’s a lot of freedom to be found in embracing that concept rather than trying to co-parent with someone who isn’t interested in co-parenting back.
For help getting out from under the influence of a toxic ex, start by reading our 10 Commandments of high-conflict co-parenting. Or if you want more info on parallel parenting specifically, I have a blog post on that too: ➡️ THE LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC OF PARALLEL PARENTING 👀
Dan & I also put together a workshop called the quick-start guide to parallel parenting that’s coming out soon for our paid subscribers over on Substack, so if you’re not a member yet, you should definitely join up: ➡️ JOIN THE COMMUNITY! 🤩 The chat room alone is amazing for helping you feel less alone as you’re trying to figure out all this stuff. xo
