River takes the helm today with a Solocast while Michele is traveling.
Co-parenting with a narcissist is incredibly challenging, and it can feel like you’re constantly navigating a battlefield of manipulation, gaslighting, and boundary-pushing. The emotional toll can be exhausting, especially when you’re trying to prioritize your child’s well-being while also protecting your own peace.
The key, as you probably already know, is detachment—both emotionally and strategically. Parallel parenting, where you limit direct interaction and keep communication strictly businesslike can help minimize conflict.
Thanks so much for listening!!
