Coparenting ruled my life for 7 years. I was stuck blaming my ex for everything and was stuck in victim mode.

I was anxious all the time, couldn’t be away from my son, and just in survival mode for years. I finally got fed up and joined a coparenting program that changed my life.

The biggest aspect I’ve learned is coparenting is that it’s a daily choice. Every single day I choose not to let my coparent trigger me or let my emotions get in the way of us parenting our child. I chose this person based on my unmet needs and he was exactly the person I needed to have a child with to grow and be better. Once I got past all the anger and the hurt I had to realize that he wasn’t my enemy, that I had to accept him exactly for who he was and give him the same grace I was giving myself while I was healing. Some days are still rough but we can be friendly now and do what’s best for our son.
