Are you feeling crazy after a breakup? The intense emotional upheaval that follows breaking up with a manipulative partner is insane. Many people find themselves questioning their sanity and grapple with self-blame and confusion—emotions often amplified by their ex-partners' toxic behaviors.

This episode explores the cycle of manipulation. I explore a few key concepts:

• Shifting Blame: Toxic partners frequently evade accountability by shifting blame onto their victims.
• Emotional Chaos: They maintain control through creating an environment filled with emotional chaos.
• Unclear Boundaries: These partners often blur relationship boundaries, making it difficult for victims to understand what constitutes acceptable behavior.

Chantal Contorines, a high conflict co-parenting coach and mentor, joins me to delve into the complexities of "co-parenting" with a Narcissist. We discuss strategies for being the best advocate for your child.

In this episode, we address:

• The difficulty in truly co-parenting with a narcissist due to their inability to prioritize children over their ego.
• How parallel parenting often becomes the necessary approach when dealing with a manipulative ex-partner.
• The fact that parenting doesn't end at 18; it's about aiding children to become competent adults who are emotionally validated.
