vadad 2 Posted February 15 https://goodmenproject.com/divorce/9-tips-for-co-parenting-with-a-difficult-ex-kfnn-cmtt/ This one really speaks to me: Quote 4. Don’t respond immediately. So much of co-parenting with a difficult ex is about not engaging. Of course, you will have to engage on behalf of your children. But you do have the power and right to choose when and how you engage. If your ex says or writes something that causes an immediate dump of adrenaline into your system, take a breath and step back. Do your “reacting” in your own mind or in venting with a friend. Do your “responding” once you are calm. Sleep on your response. Choose a doable ‘delay time’ for responding to anything other than emergencies. You’re not on-call for your ex. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lmassey 0 Posted June 3 Document and get the agreement in writing. You're divorced because you couldn't work together, so there will be times you don't get along or agree coparenting. That's when you need an agreement to fall back on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
