Bonus Coaching Session: How to Feel Safe When Your Abusive Ex Lives Next Door (and More)

Welcome to our very first Friday Coaching Corner! In this session, I answer questions from a listener navigating the challenges of living near her abusive ex, parenting through manipulation, and dealing with silent treatment in co-parenting apps.The listener shares that her ex still lives in an outbuilding on the marital property, creating constant stress and safety concerns. On top of that, her ex is weaponizing the children against her, and she’s experiencing co-parenting sabotage through both denial of parenting time and the silent treatment in their communication app.I answer these questions...How can I create a sense of safety in my home when my abusive ex lives so close by?How do I respond when my 13-year-old mimics my ex’s critical tone and behavior toward me, and how should I explain this shift to their therapist?What strategies can I use when my co-parent stops responding to messages and uses the silent treatment as a tactic?Want to have your questions featured on a Friday Coaching Corner?

Every parenting plan and court order is different.
