The Parallel Parenting Solution: Eliminate Confict with Your Ex, Create the Life You Want
Families who want to heal after a divorce should not start with pie-in-the-sky expectations. They should start in reality. The Parallel Parenting Solution comes straight out of lived experience, extensive research and coaching, and is written as a direct solutions manual for those of us who have to deal with Narcissistic and high-conflict exes.
Coparenting does not have to take a toll on mental health, deplete your finances, compromise your values, or threaten your safety. For those experiencing the effects of Coparenting as a living hell, your experience is valid. We’ve been there and lived it. But have no fear. There is hope, and it’s called Parallel Parenting.
Parallel Parenting is based on the premise that all parties can achieve the highest outcomes for themselves and their families when they are free to work in parallel, rather than being thrown into the chaotic, emotional enmeshment soup that is Coparenting. Understanding the exploitative and conflict-producing fantasy known as Coparenting as sold to us by the divorce industry vultures is as important as understanding the down-to-earth tactics of how to deal with your high-conflict ex. This book will teach you both.
The Parallel Parenting Solution was written for people who want to eliminate the unnecessary drama of Coparenting with a high-conflict ex—particularly in the wake of a hard-fought divorce battle. It is intentionally direct, solutions-driven, and comes from the perspective of those of us who have lived with such exes. We know that we’ve already wasted enough time, life, and energy on them. It's time for immediate change.

The tone is a bit coarse. I mention that first because it's the main thing that will constrain my recommending this to others. But for me, it worked. For much of the last decade so much of my life (including its continuance) relied on pretense; relied on tiptoeing around the psychopath; relied on seeing red but being forced to say it's blue. I think the author's tone may appeal to a lot of people who have survived abuse -- who have made to the other side, and who want to finally call a spade a spade, call bullshit bullshit, and figure out how to be done with it (as much as possible) and move on.
This is a book for people who have been abused by a person with whom they must now co-parent. There is a lot of fabulous content in here. And it's a very quick read.

THE Answer You’ve Been Looking For
Many of us divorcing or divorced, especially from exes like the author talks about in the book, have a hard time setting boundaries and perhaps even understanding what that is or should look like. Parallel Parenting clarifies this for you. It’s encouraging and detailed, while still giving you autonomy and oh so very helpful. The mental scripts it offers are the best! Everyone who shares kids with an ex needs to read this book.

Great advise bad book
I liked that the author takes focus off the HCP ex-partner to where it belongs - to defining your own values and goals. I found all the advises given valuable and going to refer to them over and over until I am done with my parenting parenting plan revisions. This advises definitely need to be heard by anyone divorcing HCPs but the book itself is not of the best quality. It is very repetitive and uses Trendy-Trendy term way too many times. It’s unnecessary and off putting.

Game Changer
This book is a huge game changer. Stuck in the rut of going round and round with no real answer. I’m so grateful I found it. The only thing I wish would change is that they wouldn’t assume the HCP is a male. I’ve met more HCP females in my lifetime than men. Otherwise. This is the Bible!
