Parenting and narcissism are two words that should not be in any sentence. This abuse is not something you should have to deal with whilst trying to raise a family.
In this episode, we'll delve into:
- Understanding the traits and actions of a narcissistic co-parent and how they impact both you and your children.
- Strategies to shield your kids from the emotional and psychological effects of having a narcissistic parent.
- Practical advice on how to co-parent effectively with a narcissist, including setting boundaries and maintaining clear communication.
When I split up from my ex my children were 3 and 6 years old, and it was tough. Had I not split up from my ex husband, I would’ve still been codependent and feeling a lack of self-worth, which would have rubbed off on my children.
Now my kids are the kindest, most compassionate and self-confident young adults. They know that they are good enough for who they are and nobody else’s behaviour is ever a reflection of them. I am so incredibly fortunate to have them, and an important part of them becoming such brilliant young adults was my own healing journey.
