Co-Parenting through Chaos

[jana chenoweth]

Divorce isn't merely an end. It's also a beginning. It's an
opportunity to move beyond the dark place you've lived since your
separation and into the joyful light of a new life for yourself! Now
you can build a strong, supportive environment for yourself and your
children - a life that encourages and uplifts all of you. You can do
it on your own terms, as a free agent.
You're on your own and the possibilities are endless. Moving?
Possibly. Changing jobs? Why not? Creating an amazing opportunity for
your children to travel with you? It's like a dream come true!
But wait. Your ex says, No!, slamming the door on your plans. There's
the cold splash of reality - your ex may be gone from your
marriage...but is far from out of your life. Joint custody and shared
custody mean you are still making decisions together. Like it or not.
It's not easy to work with an uncooperative ex. If your ex is uncaring
of your needs, disrespectful to you (especially in front of your
children), disregards the rules and values that provide standards and
boundaries to your children, or continually tries to manipulate your
children into doing things his/her way instead of your way...well,
let's face it, you have a recipe for co-parenting chaos....
