So, in short, doing the work for ourselves, because that's how we get the skills to handle the other person.
Co-parenting is no walk in the park, and when addiction enters the picture, it can feel downright overwhelming. In this episode of 'Your Partner’s Addiction', Certified Life Coach Karilyn Ivers Tracy sits down with single parent coach Jay Skibbens to untangle the complexities of co-parenting with a partner who struggles with addiction.
Jay brings his wealth of experience to the table, offering practical advice on how to view your co-parent through a more compassionate lens and handle high-conflict situations with grace. One of the highlights of their conversation is the discussion on safety versus personal preference when it comes to parenting choices. Jay emphasizes the importance of focusing on what truly matters for the well-being of your child rather than getting caught up in personal biases.
He also sheds light on the delicate balance of energies in a child's life, urging parents to avoid emotional overcompensation. Instead, he encourages finding solutions that work for both parties, creating a more harmonious co-parenting environment. The key takeaway? Doing the inner work is essential. By focusing on your own growth and well-being, you're better equipped to manage the challenges that come with co-parenting amidst addiction.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating these turbulent waters, offering not just strategies but a sense of solidarity and hope.
