Amber Andrews, Talking.Solutions, will take over TalkingParentsâ Instagram account Monday, April 22nd through Friday, April 26th. @talkingparentsapp and @talking.solutions are partnering to provide followers with invaluable information and advice surrounding the following topics:
Many survivors of narcissistic co-parenting share eerily similar stories, often describing their co-parentâs behaviors as âtextbookâ. This uniformity arises because narcissists commonly use the same manipulative tactics. Once you recognize the patterns, you canât unsee them. Educating yourself empowers you to understand whatâs happening and prepares you to respond effectively.

Sheâll be sharing advice for co-parents as it relates to these situations all next week. Follow TalkingParents on Instagram to tune in.
