Seriously old dirt - on him manging his Co-parenting relationship with his ex
This topic is such a struggle for so many couples navigating blended family life. Where do the boundaries start and stop? How can you manage a space of co-parenting peacefully with a high conflict ex and how does this all effect the life and relationship YOU are trying to build with your blended family?
I am so proud of this recording. I am so proud of how we can sit on our couch and share our story so openly and honestly. I am so proud of how much we have grown with regards to this part of blended family life.
Show notes:
