EP 48: Co-Parenting with a High-Conflict Person with Megan Hunter, MBA
Stepmom, today we are chatting with fellow stepmom and co-founder of the High Conflict Institute, Megan Hunter! If your stepchild's other parent is high-conflict, then this is a discussion you can't afford to miss! We're chatting all about practical, tangible tools to use when dealing with someone high-conflict and answering your most burning questions like:
- What traits define a high-conflict person?
- What are best practices for communicating with a high-conflict co-parent?
- Do you need to respond to every communication from a high-conflict co-parent?
- What can we do when the co-parent is lying in court about us?
- How can we de-escalate high-conflict situations?
It's an honor to have Megan on the podcast sharing her in-depth knowledge on this topic. I know you're going to walk away from this episode feeling validated and empowered with better tools!
