💬 Send us a text! (Yes really!)The ex only has as much power as we’re willing to give them.Like the Wizard of Oz, a high-conflict ex is actually just a scared little person behind a curtain who uses lots of smoke and mirrors to intimidate us.Once we stop buying into the story that the ex is all-powerful and in charge of everything, we can create better boundaries, reclaim our own power, and restore sanity within ourselves and our households.Don’t let a high-conflict ex talk you out of your right to parent, or your right to create firm boundaries that protect yourself and your blended family from yet more drama.Typical co-parenting rules don’t apply when the ex is high conflict.
