Publisher Description: Protect your child from alienation and loyalty conflicts. During and after a difficult divorce, it's easy for your relationship with your kids to become strained--especially if you are dealing with a toxic ex who bad-mouths you in front of your children, accuses you of being a bad parent, and even attempts to "replace" you with a new partner in your children's lives. Your children may become confused, conflicted, angry, anxious, or depressed--and you may feel powerless. But there is help. In this guide, you'll discover a positive parenting approach to dealing with a hostile ex-spouse. You'll learn the best ways to protect your children from painful loyalty conflicts, how to avoid parental alienation syndrome, and techniques for talking to your children in a way that fosters honesty and trust. Co-parenting with a toxic ex can be challenging, but with the right tools you can protect your kids and make your relationship with them stronger than ever. |
