In today’s episode, I answer a listener's question about co-parenting with an abusive ex and challenge the idea of "working together" with abusers. You’ll learn the importance of shifting the focus away from the abuser and toward personal healing and growth.
Key Takeaways:
- Stop investing emotional energy into trying to "fix" or "work with" an abusive person. It's a cycle that leads nowhere.
- Redefine what it means to be a "father"—biological ties do not make someone a healthy or safe parent.
- Avoid gaslighting your children by pretending their experiences with their abusive parent are fun or normal.
- It is impossible to thrive while working with someone who thrives on control and abuse. The focus should be on healing yourself and your children.
