If you are separated and coparenting with a n-rcissist, life is tough. You may have learned that that coparent would happily mess things up for the kids if it makes your life miserable. They would even accept problems for themselves if the problems they create for you are greater. In the process you may find yourself advocating for the kids. It could be to attend an event, a program, an opportunity.

Difficult conversations. They’re necessary. They require transparency and authenticity. Those difficult conversations can allow people into your thinking, your concerns.

Difficult conversations may require preparation, not necessarily of the other, but of oneself.

When developing a parenting plan with a coparent who either may not show up or return the kids when they should, set it up so they must pick the kids up at the start of their time and that you retrieve them for your time. Always have a contingency plan for when the coparent is a no show. Make it clear you will only wait an hour before invoking your own plans, no longer waiting.
