Co-parenting vs Parallel Parenting by Stephen A. Anthony

Are you co-parenting with a jerk?

If coparenting isn't working and your parenting plan is constantly not being followed, learn about parallel parenting as part of the parenting plan

Co-parenting books talk about just that, co-parenting. This form of dealing with the other parent while trying to agree with the children's visitation schedule and a parenting plan doesn't always work, especially if you are dealing with a narcissist or a borderline personality disorder.

You and your kids may be better off with parallel parenting. A parallel parenting plan is similar to co-parenting, but it can actually be more beneficial for everyone, except the controlling ex. Your kids don't want their lives disrupted, and Co-parenting vs. Parallel parenting discusses how the ex can actually use co-parenting against you and the kids.

Parallel parenting is a newer form of parenting that divorced couples can use after divorce. It takes some manipulative power away from a controlling parent. Most find that parallel parenting can reduce the stress and worry that co-parenting seems to cause.
