unfuck Frequently Asked Questions
What is high-conflict co-parenting?
High-conflict co-parenting happens when one parent—often with narcissistic or manipulative traits—creates chaos, control, or constant disputes after divorce. A high-conflict co-parenting coach helps you set boundaries, communicate strategically, and protect your peace and your children.
What is parallel parenting and how does it help?
Parallel parenting is a structured system designed for high-conflict or narcissistic co-parents. It limits direct communication, establishes clear routines, and allows both parents to operate separately. This approach reduces arguments, minimizes emotional abuse, and helps kids feel safe and stable.
How can a co-parenting coach help with a narcissistic ex?
A co-parenting coach who specializes in narcissistic abuse teaches you how to disengage, document, and respond strategically. You’ll learn to protect your mental health, communicate effectively through court-approved channels, and manage custody issues without feeding the conflict cycle.
Why hire a co-parenting coach if I already have a lawyer?
Lawyers handle the legal battle. A co-parenting coach helps you handle the daily war. Coaching focuses on your mindset, communication, and parenting strategy between court hearings—helping you stay calm, credible, and child-focused while your lawyer handles filings and motions.
Is Unfuck Your Co-Parenting legal advice?
No. Co-parenting coaching is not legal advice and does not replace an attorney. Coaching focuses on emotional regulation, communication strategy, boundary-setting, and documentation. You’ll learn how to apply your lawyer’s guidance in real-life, high-conflict parenting situations.
Is co-parenting coaching worth the money?
Absolutely. High-conflict co-parenting drains your energy, time, and finances. Investing in coaching helps you save on attorney fees, reduce court drama, and protect your mental health. You’ll learn systems that make your parenting—and your peace—sustainable long after the sessions end.
Who is Unfuck Your Co-Parenting for?
This coaching is for parents navigating toxic, high-conflict, or narcissistic co-parenting situations. Whether you’re fresh out of court or drowning in constant messages, Unfuck Your Co-Parenting gives you tools, scripts, and structure to take your power back.
What will I learn in coaching?

Do you work with both parents?
I don’t work with the narcissistic or high-conflict parent. I work with the healthy parent—the one ready to break the chaos cycle and focus on structure, peace, and emotional stability. I also work with new partners or stepparents who want to learn how to support the healthy parent and create a calm, united home environment.
How soon will I see results?
Most clients notice a shift within the first few weeks—less emotional reactivity, fewer arguments, and more peace in their homes. As you implement the tools, your co-parent’s chaos stops controlling you.
