A very eye-opening experience for me

Listening to this audiobook was a very eye-opening experience for me. I decided to give this audiobook a try because a close friend of mine was struggling with her ex, who was very controlling and manipulative. We listened to parts of it together, and it really made a difference. My friend found comfort in knowing that she wasn’t alone in what she was going through. The strategies felt real and doable, not just fancy advice that’s hard to follow. I would recommend it to anyone dealing with a difficult co-parenting situation.

My best friend has been going through the wringer co-parenting with her ex, and when I had the chance to listen to this audiobook, I feel like I can now say more than just nod along sympathetically. Stephanie Barnes offers such practical advice, and Reese Grey's narration makes it feel like a compassionate conversation rather than a lecture.

I'm definitely going to recommend this audiobook to my friend; it feels like a valuable resource for anyone trying to support a loved one in a similar battle.

Great for High-Conflict Co-Parenting

Co-parenting with my ex has felt like a never-ending power struggle, and I was desperate for something that actually helped. This audiobook delivered! The strategies for setting boundaries and dealing with manipulation were straightforward and realistic—no fluff, just actionable steps. The section on the Grey Rock Method was really helpful, and I’ve already seen a difference in how I respond to toxic interactions. What I appreciated most was the focus on protecting my child’s emotional well-being. It reminded me that I have more control than I thought. If you’re stuck in a high-conflict co-parenting situation and need real solutions, this is absolutely worth a listen!

Superb Book on handling a narcissistic ex

Being in child welfare, I am always looking for books to help parents. This book is it! It not only provides easy-to-implement strategies, but it does it in a trauma-informed way. The author guides parents on how to handle the effects on children so they have a chance of not being sucked into the narcissistic hold, and the strategies appear to be valuable. I am going to recommend this to the families I work with who have a narcissistic ex partner.
