Description
How will you find a way to make sure your child isn’t impacted by your narcissistic ex?
Want to ensure that you take the right steps at a difficult time of transition?
You’re someone who wants to make sure your child has the support, love and care they need to grow up and become a fully functional adult. You’re also someone acutely aware of the hold a narcissist can have over you. After all, you left your partner for a very good reason.
Now that you’ve broken free there’s something that will have shocked you: they still have a hold over you! They’re still involved in your life in a big way because you have a child together. Now you have to co-parent in two different households and find a way to move forwards for the benefit of your child.
The secret is to trust that there’s a solution, even when you feel like giving up all hope because of the completely unreasonable behavior of your ex. You just have to stay on track and keep doing the right thing. How do I know? I’ve just finished reading THE book on it…
“Co-Parenting after Divorcing a Narcissist” is for anyone who wants to ensure their children are looked after the right way, no matter how nasty your divorce has been.
Put all of these pieces of the puzzle into the right places and you’ll find that things start to improve a whole lot faster than you were expecting. Ideal if you want to make sure things run as smoothly as possible.

You're not imagining it
You left. They're still in the room.
Every text. Every exchange. Every message that comes back through your child. You know what you're supposed to do. Then it happens, and you're replaying it at midnight.
The book shows you what's going on and what to do about it. The journal is where you put the rest, so it stops living in your head.

Start with the book and the journal
The book is for understanding. The journal is for the moment it happens.
Where the set fits
Every hard exchange runs the same loop
The book and the journal each take one part of it.
-
1 · The exchange
It lands
A text, a handoff, something your child repeats.
-
2 · The spiral
You replay it
At midnight, still arguing in your head.
-
3 · The book
It names the pattern
You see what is happening for what it is.
-
4 · The journal
It holds the rest
Write it down. Decide the boundary.
Next time, you see it coming.

How the set works
Read it. Write it. See it coming.
Step 1 · The book
Understand the pattern
Chapter Five covers setting boundaries with a narcissist and how to keep calm when they're infuriating. Chapter Six covers co-parenting with them, and when to choose parallel parenting instead.
Step 2 · The journal
Work through it after
After a hard exchange, the journal gives you somewhere to process it, notice what keeps repeating, and write down the boundary you want to hold.
Step 3 · Next time
See it sooner
The book is honest about this: the old reactions are a habit, and habits take time. Writing it down is how you start to catch the pattern earlier.

In her own words
Read how Isabella talks to you
I'll just burst your bubble before we go much further here. I'm not giving any hack or magic trick for staying calm when facing a narcissist. I'm not even promising you that you'll be able to stay calm when your narc ex is infuriating at first.
Your brain is wired to react that way because you've done it repeatedly. That's a strong habit, and it won't disappear in one day or maybe even one year.
Chapter Five · How to Keep Calm When They are Infuriating · p. 130
Why the journal
You'll finish the chapter knowing what to do. The hard part is the night it happens.
The kids are in bed, or playing in the next room, and the last conversation is still running in your head. The journal gives that night somewhere to go. Write down what was said. Notice what keeps repeating. Decide on the boundary before the next exchange.

Before you decide
Questions parents ask
Do I need the journal?
No. The book stands on its own. The journal is for readers who want somewhere to work through what comes up after a hard exchange, instead of carrying it around.
My ex won't cooperate. Will this still help?
Chapter Six is direct about this: co-parenting may be impossible with a narcissist. It covers what to expect, parental alienation, and when to choose parallel parenting instead.
I don't have the energy to read right now.
The book is built in three parts and eight chapters, each broken into short sections. You can start with the chapter you need tonight.
Is this only for mothers?
No. The book is written for parents of either gender.
