The Co-parent Way - and interview with Marcie Shaoul

Send a textIf you and your partner have separated, your preference may be never to have to see or speak to them again. This will particularly be the case where your former partner is a narcissist when 'no contact' will be the ideal position. If however, you have children together, at least while your children are in their minority, that is not a viable option. Some mechanism will need to be in place to help you navigate ongoing child arrangements.Marcie Shaoul is the founder of the award winning the Co-Parent Way and author of 'The Co Parenting Method: Six steps to raise happy kids after separation and divorce' published by Penguin and released on 27th March 2025. Marcie is a trained and certified coach, known for her practical and effective approach to helping separating parents. Her work has been described by Sir Andrew Macfarlane, President of the family Division, in the forward of the book as 'inspirational'.When your co-parent is a narcissist you will quickly recognise the fact that they will only ever 'counter-parent'. The need to limit contact between the parents as much as possible will become apparent coupled with the need to demonstrate to the children the difference between 'conditional' and 'unconditional' love.
