[bradyates]

Doesn't work with a parental alienating parent, i.e. a narcissist...

I was about to finish listening when I realized that this is for ex-spouses who don’t suffer from personality disorders. Most of this won’t work with them. #reality #evilexists #getto18

11:30 so if they are not happy staying with me should I let them stay with there mother

[bwash]

This is great! Do you happen to have any videos that would help me counsel kids with divorced or separated families?

[aprildawnsunshine]

For those dealing with abuse some of this seems a bit less than helpful: ex- you picked this person (who hurt your child)

[lmssoccer]

So what can I do if the mother was manipulative and narcissistic with our relationships and most relationships she still has today? We are almost at zero communication at this point due to that dynamic.

3:15 O is 50 50 not always bewt for kids?

I understand the positive energy behind this concept. I believe there is a caveat to these principles. You must have strong personal boundaries and strong boundaries between yourself and your ex. If you don’t have that foundation in place this frame of mind could land you in a position where you are overstepping your personal boundaries to be generous or kind or accommodating.. And I will say that exes with pervasive maladaptive behaviors makes executing these principles near impossible at times. And often the “decision” to have children with other people are not chosen directly, particularly when there was no marriage or mutual decision to have a child at all. IMO 90% to 99% of your material holds immeasurable value for the majority of people. I personally think this information alone could exacerbate issues for many high conflict “coparenting” situations and needs to have additional information linked to it.

Dr. Paul, this is a great list. Do you have a video for overprotective parents (mom)?

[doomedfromthesmart]

Honestly, how do you handle this when you as a man, got taken advantage of at a concert? She was doing lines while pregnant causing me to shame her into feeling remorse? Finally I got the girl off drugs, till she moved back to her home town, then she found a bad guy (sells drugs and illegal guns) and now i get threatened constantly for trying to keep your son in a positive position. She dose illegal activities daily, and insists that she should be able to take her son with her.

How would you handle changing how summer brake is taken . My husband is supposed to get all of the summer and spring brake but the most we have been able to take advantage of is 7 - 10 days a year but next year we are planing on bring him to are house. Would you do all summer or mabby 50 precent would be better
