We all assume that when we get divorced, things are going to get better.
But when a marriage ends, communication is usually at a low point. And that communication style tends to stick, which causes ongoing conflict in the co-parenting relationship.
So, what can you do to interrupt that conflict dynamic with your ex? How do you build a constructive, positive co-parenting relationship?
Jenni Rock is the creator of Co-Parenting Without Conflict, a coaching practice that helps divorced parents exit toxic relationships and communicate in a way that prioritizes the needs of their children.
Jenni brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, helping parents navigate the often-challenging terrain of co-parenting after a divorce.
On this episode of Divorce Dialogues, Jenni joins Katherine to share the story of her own horrific divorce and explain how that experience informs her work in co-parenting conflict resolution.
Jenni discusses the most common conflicts in co-parenting relationships and describes the consequences of using your children as a bartering tool.
Listen in for Jenni’s insight on navigating reactive feelings toward your ex and learn the first steps to changing the way you communicate and co-parenting without conflict!
