Co-Parenting After Divorce: Boundaries With Your Ex’s New Partner

Co-parenting after divorce is tough—and it gets even harder when a new partner enters the picture. Do you collaborate with your ex’s new partner, or set firm boundaries?

In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I share real stories from both sides—navigating life with a stepparent as a parent, and stepping into the role of stepparent myself. You’ll hear the honest truths about blended families, boundaries, and how to protect your kids’ wellbeing while choosing peace over drama.

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways

• The biggest risks (and benefits) of working with your ex’s new partner

• Why clear intentions and boundaries matter more than ever

• How to handle the “two vs. one” power dynamic

• Tools to manage triggers and choose peace over drama

• Why blended families are the new norm—and how to make them work

Remember: at the end of the day, it’s not about winning against your ex or their partner—it’s about what’s best for the kids.
