Co-parenting after divorce is tough—and it gets even harder when a new partner enters the picture. Do you collaborate with your ex’s new partner, or set firm boundaries?
In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I share real stories from both sides—navigating life with a stepparent as a parent, and stepping into the role of stepparent myself. You’ll hear the honest truths about blended families, boundaries, and how to protect your kids’ wellbeing while choosing peace over drama.
🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways
The biggest risks (and benefits) of working with your ex’s new partner
Why clear intentions and boundaries matter more than ever
How to handle the “two vs. one” power dynamic
Tools to manage triggers and choose peace over drama
Why blended families are the new norm—and how to make them work
Remember: at the end of the day, it’s not about winning against your ex or their partner—it’s about what’s best for the kids.
