Description
One of the hardest things to accept about coparenting with a difficult ex is that you cannot control anything about their behaviour, ever, regardless of how hard you try. It is hard to watch your kids suffer the consequences of an ineffective coparenting relationship or when your coparent is not well equipped for parenting.
However, there are things you can do to minimize the effect that difficult co-parenting and stress has your kids, but what is really important to remember, is that the single best predictor of future resilience in children is the presence of a responsive and supportive parent during childhood. That means you ALONE can have a significant positive impact on your kids, protect and nurture them despite the unwanted situation you are in!
