Great book for anyone coparenting

As someone who deals with a difficult ex and has children with them, this book really hit home. As the book mentions, the kids should be the forefront of interactions. And, if that’s not the case for your relationship, this book offers some very helpful and practical strategies.

I can’t wait to give some of the advice in this book a try. The authors empathy and understanding of the situations some of us face truly makes me feel supported.

Even if you don’t have a difficult relationship I recommend this book anyways. Because the strategies in the book help to establish an environment where your kids will thrive and grow up emotionally secure.

Great Advice on how raise kids with a Narcissist!!

I just finished listening to this audiobook and I feel like the author REALLY understands what I am dealing with and going through. She "gets it" and understands the craziness that happens when your ex is a narcissist and you have children together. I really like the way she organized the audiobook, and it covers everything you need to know about how to put the kids first and keep them first. She showed me how to set boundaries, how to communicate, and what not to do. It makes so much sense when it is all presented like this. Now I am going to implement these strategies. If you are in a similar situation, do yourself a favor and get this. It really made sense and gave me the plan of action I desperately needed.

Love the focus!

I really appreciated how this book focused not on the behaviors of the narcissistic parent but instead on the unwavering best for the children. It gives practical advice on the best way to handle situations and tools to help co-parent effectively (such as an app where you can text, keep a shared calendar, etc., but the information cannot be changed nor deleted to eliminate lying and gaslighting). This book is a great resource that will help parents communicate as effectively as possible, and raise well-adjusted children despite their differences.
