Abusers can employ various tactics to create and perpetuate conflict post-separation, often as a means of maintaining control and power over their victims. They frequently use manipulation and gaslighting to distort reality and make their victims doubt their own perceptions. They may deny their actions, minimize the impact of their behavior, or shift blame, leading to confusion and conflict. Understanding these tactics is crucial for recognizing and addressing abusive behavior.

CO-PARENTING WITH A FORMER PARTNER WHO LOVES CONFLICT

Co-parenting with an individual who demonstrates a pattern of conflict, rigidity, entitlement, and antagonism presents significant challenges.

Each interaction carries the potential to become contentious, resulting in substantial emotional and psychological strain.

Frequent Escalation of Disputes: Whether addressing minor scheduling adjustments or making substantial decisions, their adversarial disposition often intensifies minor discussions into major disputes. This pattern not only causes frustration and emotional exhaustion but also impedes the likelihood of achieving mutual agreement.

Avoidance is Not an Option: Given the joint responsibility of raising children, complete disengagement is generally not feasible. Instead, it is advisable to establish and uphold clear boundaries. Maintain all communications strictly focused on child-related matters and avoid engaging in unnecessary conflicts.
