The attention and energy that it takes to be a balanced adult and also a parent can be challenging at times to say the least. Add in a co- parent that has a personality disorder (Narcissism) and BOOM, the challenge of showing up in a healthy and productive way becomes more difficult.

To be raw & real right out of the gates, being on the other end of a narcissist in any way, shape or form is a draining experience. It can feel as if you’re engaging in mental gymnastics with all the twists, turns, manipulations and big reactions that you will come across with being on the other end of this personality type.

I’ve collaborated with mental wellness site MINDBODYGREEN on a blog post about how to make co-parenting work when it comes to coping with a narcissist co-parent. Check out the full post HERE.
