Put Your Kids First: Practical Coparenting with a Narcissist

Co-parenting with a narcissist is relentless. You can’t change them, but you can change how you respond—and that makes all the difference.

If you’ve ended a relationship with a narcissist (or plan to), you know they won’t suddenly become a cooperative, empathetic parent. Though free from their direct control, their manipulation and gaslighting can continue—primarily through your children.

They may sabotage your parenting, manipulate your kids, or fight for custody despite lacking true commitment. In extreme cases, they might attempt parental alienation, turning your children against you.

Do You Feel…? Overwhelmed by constant manipulation? Desperate to shield your kids from toxicity? Eager to set firm boundaries without escalating conflict?

You’re not alone. Many parents face the same exhausting struggles. But there is hope—and a path forward to empower you while protecting your children.

Introducing: Practical Coparenting with a Narcissist

This guide provides actionable strategies to reduce conflict, set boundaries, and raise emotionally healthy children despite a narcissistic co-parent.

Inside, You’ll Discover: 8 Types of Narcissism—how each manipulates, their impact, and strategies to counter them. Legal & Financial Safeguards—navigating custody battles, parenting plans, and financial protection. Boundary-Setting Techniques—how to maintain firm limits without provoking retaliation. Communication Tactics That Work—including DEEP, BIFF, Grey Rock, and Yellow Rock methods. How to Protect Your Kids—legally, emotionally, and psychologically from manipulation and abuse. The Shift from Co-Parenting to Parallel Parenting—helping kids thrive with minimal contact. Rebuilding Confidence & Identity—regaining strength after emotional abuse. Overcoming Advanced Challenges—like smear campaigns, legal traps, and mental health manipulation.
