Hi Jaroslaw,

no my son is not the ex narcissist&#039;s child.

I completely understand what you are feeling and saying.

I&#039;d love you to google my name and &quot;parallel parenting&quot; because there may be some aspects about this form of narcissistic co-parenting that may help with your moving forward, for you and your children.

Mel 🙏💞🦋]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Personally I think separating is the only option with shared children either your own or fostered, but you must put up healthy boundaries to protect yourself, I know it doesn&#039;t feel fair, but at least by having your own home even if it&#039;s a rental when the Children come to visit, you can make it as normal as possible for them, so as they get older, they can compare your normality with her craziness, otherwise the craziness becomes their normal. And you don&#039;t need to say anything derogatory about her, just love them unconditionaly and they will come through alright, and you will keep your Sanity, hope this helps Blessings Col.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Melanie,
I got to the point same as yours - healed internally and managed to shield myself off sucking energetic vampire. Just got one question to  you ? Do you have children with your ex  narc ?
I don&#039;t think I can divorce my covert narcist  wife - we have 2 adopted children and it will be  a heavy blow to them if I decide to divorce. Both of them already went through a trauma of rejection and during a conflict times I got a taste of potential damages they would got (drop in school performance etc). The youngest isn11 yo lovely, sensitive and a gifted boy. That is why I decided to stay few more years until he gets to his 18th birthday. 
I have a friend of mine in similar situation who recently divorced his narcistic wife. Peaceful co-parenting with those empty shells of human being is impossible. From time to time he has to go to the family court as his ex empty shell of human being wife is constantly trying to change parenting agreements. Its all honky dory if you split with narcissistic partner and you don&#039;t have children with them, I wish it could my situation but its not. So I have deal with what shitty cards life has thrown on me. I don&#039;t think there is any good advice on co-parenting if you divorce a narcist monster. You still will have to be exposed to this venom and watch your kids getting traumatised in a process. I had s taste of what it could be with my covert narcist wife. During our last conflict when she was the one trying to discard me I mentioned children and particularly the younger one. I told her this will inflict a huge damage and with his past it will have a serious impact on his emtions and will likely kill or diminish his wonderful gufts(my son is quite gifted and talented boy with very sensitive soul). Do you know what was her answer ? Answer coming from professional (she is a teacher in special educational needs school) This empty person she just shrugged her shoulders and replied she knows many single parent families bringing up children and &quot;there is no problem ?????!!! WTF
Of course she conviently omitted the fact of adoption as of course it would not suit the answer well. Anyhow I wish I could be in a different situation, without children but I am not and I am accepting it. Thanks to myb transformational healing, practising mental. development I became 100% resistant to many of the primitive games this empty shells are doing.Supply was cut off and I can see in many occasions evidence of narc starvation..Tough - either she will understand something  about her (doubtfully)  or will struggle - at this point of my life I don&#039;t care.]]></description>
