Co-parenting is a minefield for even the most solid couples. It’s hard to be open, vulnerable and clear with a partner even when life is smooth and trust is high. These challenges are on a whole new level when parenting. Gender roles and household work are hard to balance. It is impossible to be sure of the “right” parenting strategy, let alone agree on it. Your own history and demons are triggered. You are harsh enough with yourself without feeling judgment from your partner. Your worries and fears about your children can be so intense that open and calm communication might be impossible. If you can’t seem to hold on to your sense of self, how are you supposed to hold on to each other?
I'm here to Help.
Whether you are living together or parenting from separate households, you can sharpen your communication skills, find empathy for each other, and navigate difficult conversations and decisions. You will develop a deeper understanding of your own and one another’s insecurities and triggers. Then, you can work together and jump in to protect one another and back each other up rather than working at odds or making each other feel worse. You will not always see eye to eye, but you can still prioritize each other and function as a team. You can still honor and respect each other while you navigate rough waters. You can have a partner in grief, fear, and JOY.
