I did once call in a social worker for me to get help to learn how to co-parent better on my own. It did help somewhat however only for awhile when extreme circumstances were going on in my situation too. Living in the projects for 10 years sometimes helped. Sometimes it didn't. Like after I had already been called by another parent who was in my daughter's school to admit that she witnessed my infant son getting run down by a car near the private school where she had been car pooling with my ex at the time. She apologized to me. Then I took my son in to see his pediatrician right away while seeing obvious bruises on his body. I asked his pediatrician to document his injuries. I found out later that no. She didn't. No surprise here given how badly her nurse for awhile was in her office treating me at the time only because my becoming an ex to me was often before then riding in his bus while he was bus driver at the time while only on her way to work and back every day while living in Sherwood park. Well who wouldn't want a situation like that addressed right away properly too? So tell me folks. How much can children go through before becoming a whole less healthier than they could have been while their biological mom is already a good listener and is the responsible one too. Another time after my son was misbehaving by being a dare devil to then experience a not out of the ordinary childhood injury as result then it was so predictable that his dad would then haul me back into court again while trying to take away ALL of my parenting rights after I had already offered him half time as parent while knowing ahead of time what their father was probable going to behave like during divorce based on his behavior during marriage. His behaviour during marriage while the use of coversive control and emotional abuse and authoritarian parenting behavior at the time concerns to the extreme concerns were for over 10 years always falling on deaf ears whenever I complained about it to social workers and to police too. Their father is dead now. Finally now that he is dead his children are feeling safe enough to admit how terrible his behavior to them too was. While they still cannot understand why I was in effect a terrible parent to them too when allegedly only offering them far less care time.

We have got to get away from the idea that it's our job to support the child from any narcissistic or dysregulated parent. This only creates unhealthy relationship dynamics with yourself and the child aswell, leaving the child with no healthy relationship. Courts must step up their protections of children instead of enabling this child harm which results in permanently damaged human beings.
