Communicating through conflict
Communicating Through Conflict Six resources for navigating conflict and difficult communication
You cannot make your ex easier to deal with. You have probably already tried, and it has probably cost you more than it was worth. What you can do is get better at protecting yourself, and your children, from the worst of it.
This bundle brings together six practical, printable resources for anyone co-parenting or divorcing alongside someone who makes every conversation hard. They will not fix your ex. They will help you understand your own reactions, spot the patterns keeping you stuck, and respond in ways that are calmer, clearer, and less costly.
What is inside:
Start Here guide — how to use the bundle and where to begin
Conflict Style Awareness — understand your default way of handling conflict before you try to change anything
The Drama Triangle — name the roles you and your ex keep falling into, and learn how to step out
Circle of Control — stop spending energy on what you cannot change, and redirect it to what you can
From Blame to Need — rewrite the message you want to send into one that actually has somewhere to go
Be the Rock — keep co-parenting communication calm, brief and child-focused, even when you are seething
Who it is for: Anyone co-parenting with a difficult or high-conflict ex, anyone who dreads every message and handover, and any parent who wants to stop the conflict from reaching their children.
