Summary

One of the most asked questions I receive is how do you parent your children with a Narcissistic partner? Parenting alongside a narcissist is challenging, but my aim for this episode is to equip you with the knowledge to create a positive environment for your children. I’ll explore strategies to navigate and overcome the obstacles a narcissistic partner or ex-partner might present, helping you ensure the best upbringing for your kids.

What you will learn in this episode:

How to minimise the impact of the narcissist on your children.
Methods to raise your children in the manner you want and reduce the influence of the narcissistic parent.
What technology and apps you can use to make your parenting life easy.

Unfortunately, narcissists will try using your own children against you to make you look like a bad parent. To reduce the narcissist's impact, I will share with you ideas such as Parallel Parenting and Extreme Modified Communication so that you can prioritize your mental health and your children's well-being. The hardest thing for me after splitting up with my narcissistic husband was trying to parent effectively, so I want to share with you what I learned to make your life as simple as possible.

0:00.0	Welcome to the narcissistic abused and trauma recovery podcast. I'm Caroline Strawson and I'll be sharing with you awareness, understanding and education about the devastating effects of narcissistic abuse. I've been exactly where you are right now and this podcast is a beacon of hope for you to know that you
0:22.8	are believed, you are seen, you are heard and you are not alone. And my hope for listening to
0:29.6	the podcast is it will help you move from post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth
0:35.6	after the trauma of narcissistic abuse because it is
0:39.3	possible. You are enough and you deserve to thrive. Hey my friends and a massive warm welcome to the
0:49.2	narcissistic abuse and trauma recovery podcast. As always, it's my pleasure to have you here. As we're now into
0:56.2	2024, I don't know many of you are still looking ahead, hoping that it's going to be a better year
1:03.0	than maybe it was last year. Some of you may have made New Year's resolutions or intentions for the
1:08.7	year. And look, even if you've started to break them, be kind to
1:12.9	yourself. We're so hard on ourselves when we're coming out to the relationship with a narcissist.
1:19.0	And I think this time of year, we can be even more hard on ourselves. It gives us an even more reason
1:23.8	to beat ourselves with a stick, doesn't it? That we're a failure and things are down the
1:28.2	pan and our life is a mess. But it doesn't need to be like that. And I'd really urge you just to
1:33.7	take one day at a time when you're absolutely in the midst of it. It's really important to keep
1:37.9	perspective with all of that. Don't look too far ahead one day at a time and be kind to
1:42.9	yourself. And that's the whole reason I started this
1:45.4	podcast because I know how lonely it can be when you're trying to heal from narcissistic abuse.
1:50.4	Now that could be you're still in a relationship with a narcissist. Maybe you've got narcissistic
1:54.5	parents or maybe you've just come out or even you've been out years and you're still stuck because
1:59.0	that was me. So I know what it is like.
2:01.8	So wherever you are, whoever the narcissist is in your life, I hope this is a place for you
2:06.8	every single week for you to come and listen to and just hopefully feel some hope.
