This Week: Dealing with High Conflict in Your Co-Parenting Relationship

Do you and your child’s other parent get along like oil and water?

Do even the simplest interactions between you result in unnecessary drama?

Do you find it difficult or impossible to co-parent peacefully with your ex?

Are YOU the difficult ex who is more committed to conflict/revenge/drama than you are to your children?

Do you want to break the cycle of excessive conflict and increase the peace between you and your co-parent?

Tune in to this week’s “Co-Parenting Matters” show (Sunday 9:30 PM EST),“Dealing with High Conflict in Your Co-Parenting Relationship”.  Our guest this week will be Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq., co-founder and president of the High Conflict Institute and author of the recently released Don’t Alienate the Kids!: Raising Resilient Children While Avoiding High Conflict Divorce and High Conflict People in Legal Disputes.

Through the Institute, Bill teaches the necessary skills for handling high conflict personalities to professionals including attorneys, psychologists and counselors and social workers. And, now, he’s sharing it with the rest of us. On Sunday’s show, we’ll discuss ways to keep your family from getting stuck in a high conflict cycle after a split and how to get out of one if you’re already there. And, we’ll talk about the challenges of partnering with a high conflict parent and effective ways of managing those relationships with our children’s best interests at the forefront.
