Co-parenting with a narcissist or toxic person is one of the most challenging problems a victim might have to deal with! It can be a road full of landmines and vulnerabilities. Your children are the very point of your heart and the fields for manipulation with co-parenting are widely open, if not properly managed.
But do not despair!
THE 4 MAIN PARENTING PLANS:
Let’s look at various Parenting plans you can consider for settlement or that can be ordered by court:
- Shared Contact-Parenting Plan:
Where the 2 divorced/separated parents, co-parent concerning all responsibilities and contact with the children.
- Sole rights and responsibilities of the child/ren:
This kind of “No-Parenting Plan” is really the exception and is usually granted by the court where it is not in the best interest of the child to have any contact with one parent, due to various reasons. It is only the one parent that will have the full rights and responsibilities of the child.
- Supervised Contact Parenting Plan:
This is where a parent or both parents have a contact regime with a child under the supervision of a social worker or others to protect the child from the supervised parent’s /s possible harmful conduct.
- The Parallel Parenting Plan:
This is where the two parents are parenting in parallel and have no contact with one another and basically have no co-parenting. Usually recommended for high conflicting parents.
The best guide-line to follow when entering a parenting plan with a toxic person or narcissist is to limit your contact with the other parent as much as possible and to have as much arrangements clarified in the parenting plan to avoid disagreements, etc. For example, clock times for phone calls and drop-offs, drop-offs and collection of children at school, etc.
Rise and Radiate!
Once you rise and radiate, you can radiate the love and goodness of God to others!
