What You Will Learn
Co-Parenting with a Narcissist addresses one of the most challenging ongoing situations a survivor can face: sharing children with someone who uses them as pawns, has no interest in genuine co-parenting, and sees custody arrangements as another arena for control and punishment.
This book gives you practical, legally aware strategies for managing communication with a narcissistic co-parent, protecting your children from being used as weapons or messengers, and maintaining your own stability while navigating an ongoing high-conflict situation.
