Co-parenting is challenging on its best days and near impossible on its worst. Finding ways to agree with an ex about your children can be a frustrating and emotionally exhausting process. Anger, resistance, communication issues, and negative interactions create high conflict. This high conflict is detrimental to children at any age.
How do you learn to handle co-parenting issues in a better way? Have you been struggling with how to communicate and resolve on-going issues with you ex? If you feel like there is no way to reach agreements with your ex about your children, then you are dealing with co-parenting issues.
