K this was pretty great

I liked the chapter where t’s all about setting up a strict plan where you both stick to your own lanes. Want to avoid pointless arguments about who gets the kids on Christmas? There’s a plan for that. Need to minimize awkward face-to-face exchanges? You got it—school drop-offs are your new best friend. It’s full of practical tips

Boundaries and Communication

Coparenting is tough, and it gets even harder when you've had a relationship with a narcissist. This book is packed with useful tips to help you navigate coparenting successfully. It focuses a lot on setting boundaries, which is super important. If you're a people pleaser, like many of us, it's easy to end up in relationships with narcissists because we don't have strong boundaries. Learning how to communicate better and establish those boundaries has made a big difference for my family. I highly recommend this audiobook!

Boundaries are Important and so Is Self-Care

I had a narcissistic step-father and was all too familiar with how difficult it was to see a parent of yours have to deal with narcissistic abuse. I can only image how hard it would be to have to co-parent with one.

In "How to Effectively Co-Parent with a Narcissist," Jenna Lexington share's her own experience and the best techniques to best co-parent with an ex who is difficult to deal with. She begins by explaining what narcissim is and how it can affect your relationships.

From your understanding your legal rights, how to effectively communicate, set proper boundaries, how to protect your children from narcissitic abuse, how to handle finances, and even self-care, she covers it all. I especially liked how she included things like discussing narcissism with children, building kid's self-esteem, and teaching your children about boundaries. Narcissistic abuse not only involves the parents, but the kids are also affected and I like how she had that in mind and addresses these things in the audiobook.
