Navigating the stormy seas of co-parenting with a narcissistic ex can feel like an endless battle, but it's one many of us face. Together, we share personal experiences and insights, from recognizing manipulative behaviors to the inadvertent slide back into relationship-like dynamics post-breakup. It's an honest reflection on the perseverance needed to keep our families stable and the courage required to uphold our personal peace.

But it's not all about the tough stuff. We celebrate the beauty in the traditions that bind us, the cherished memories evoked through food, music, and laughter that fill our homes. Don and I reminisce about creating new rituals with our children, preserving the essence of our cultural heritage, and the small, memorable moments that shape our legacies. Listen in for a heartfelt exploration of how these practices not only connect us to our past but also pave the way for enriching our children's future.

Then, we pivot to the evolution of dating, gender roles, and financial dynamics in modern relationships. As we share stories of setting healthy boundaries, we reveal how communication, emotional intelligence, and mutual respect are the cornerstones of any healthy partnership. Don's perspective sheds light on navigating the delicate balance between protecting our loved ones and fostering their independence, all while confronting the societal expectations that can challenge our emotional growth. This episode is a candid look at the intricate dance of individuality and connection, providing wisdom and humor in equal measure. Join us as we uncover the keys to forging strong, loving bonds—despite the odds.
