You’re Not Crazy. You’re Just Co-Parenting With a Toxic or Narcissistic Ex.
If every message feels like a trap, every exchange turns into a fight, and you’re exhausted from doing it all right—you’re in the right place!
I built Motherhood + Mayhem for moms trying to figure out co-parenting with someone who is more concerned with causing chaos.
Everything here comes from a place of pain, frustration, and experience. I was there, feeling helpless while my ex seemed to have all the control, with the system telling me I had to play by the rules while he did whatever he wanted.
Until I figured out what I was dealing with and started writing about it.
You’re Probably Here Because You’re…
Dealing with a toxic or narcissistic co-parent who controls the entire situation.
Trying to protect your child from emotional fallout.
Feeling like you have to document every message or exchange just to stay safe.
Tired of walking on eggshells just to keep them from getting angry.
You’re not overreacting. You’re reacting to manipulation.
Here, you’ll find tools, printables, and blog posts that help you stay calm, consistent, and credible even when your co-parent isn’t.
