High-Conflict Divorce and Co-Parenting

This episode takes a deep dive into the realities of co-parenting and divorcing a high-conflict person. I answer some of the most common questions I hear from survivors—like how to handle manipulation of your child, what to do when the other parent lies about you, what parallel parenting really looks like, and how to survive smear campaigns and legal abuse.You’ll hear the patterns I see over and over again in these cases—fake “redemption arcs,” crisis creation before court, love-bombing during divorce, and more—and how to recognize them without getting hooked. This isn’t legal advice; it’s strategy, grounded in lived experience and years of coaching people through the marathon of high-conflict divorce and post-separation abuse.If you’re navigating chaos, this episode will help you see the landscape more clearly, name what’s happening, and start building your own counter-strategy centered on your safety, your sanity, and your long-term peace.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.
