Story
Being in a relationship with a narcissist can be traumatizing. After all, you have to see them almost every day. In some cases, you can choose to cut ties with the person, but in other cases, you might not have that freedom. In many other cases, people don’t want to give up on the narcissist because they feel guilty that they might be abandoning the person in a time of need.

Joint Custody with a Jerk offers many proven communication techniques that help you deal with your difficult ex-husband or ex-wife.

Half of all marriages end. Unfortunately, about 20% of divorces are high-conflict, involving frequent visits to court, allegations of abuse, and chronic disagreements regarding parenting schedules. In response to this conflict, some children become aligned with one parent against the other - even a parent who has done nothing to warrant the hostile rejection of their formerly loving children. These parents are on a painful journey with an uncertain outcome. Surviving Parental Alienation fills the tremendous need for concrete help for these parents.

Publisher's Summary
There's no question about it: your children are the most important thing in your life. But if you have gone through a messy divorce, your relationship with your children may become strained if you have to deal with a toxic ex. Your ex may bad-mouth you in front of the kids, accuse you of being a bad parent, and even attempt to replace you in the children's lives with a new partner. As a result, your children may become confused, conflicted, angry, anxious, or depressed - and you may feel powerless.
In Co-Parenting with a Toxic Ex, a nationally recognized parenting expert offers you a positive parenting approach to dealing with a hostile ex-spouse. You'll learn to avoid the most common mistakes of co-parenting, how to avoid "parental alienation syndrome", and effective techniques for talking to your children in a way that fosters an open and honest response. In addition, you'll learn how to protect your children from painful loyalty conflicts between you and your ex-spouse.

Not Helpful For Me
This may be a good book for people who have started raising kids together. My ex and I split before our son was born and have differences based on his controlling and verbally abusive behavior. This book seems to focus on the basic struggles of any kind of conflict between exes. It is really more for coping with any kind of contentious divorce. Not for clinical level toxicity or genuine abuse.

Not for high conflict cases
This book might be great if you arent coparenting with a highly toxic lying parent. Its too weak. A good parent protects a child not encourages abuse from the other. One good parent is better than 2 if the other damages the child emotionally, physically or sexually. Something family court needs to learn

Good overall advice - some info outdated
I like the overall message that you should be present for your child and focus on them.
There are some good overall tools in skills for dealing with situations covered in this book.
It does however come from an assumption that this is something to be lived with rather than changed.
The author seems to rely on the parental alienation syndrome (PAS) model which is surrounded in controversy. I would encourage anyone Learning about this to check out attachment based parental alienation (AB –PA) and get involved with changing this dynamic. When we focus on this as one parent and one child — it may seem insurmountable. But the truth is, there are many people dealing with this. When we band together we become a force much stronger than any individual ever could be.

AMAZING! EXACTLY ON POINT!
This is the best book if come across that remains unbiased between the male vs female parent. As someone with a VERY difficult ex, I couldn’t be more thankful that I found this book! Immediately after hearing each concept I have been able to identify ways my ex is trying to alienate me. I have even able to more accurately log the info for future court hearings but better yet, counteract the behavior our kids show that is a result of their other parent’s toxic behavior! #DadsMatter

Both parents are toxic
The title of the book is a bit misleading. The authors assume that both parents are toxic. This book is light on ideas to deal with the toxic parent and heavy on the Eastern mindful/dialectical parenting approach, e.g., strong undertow of moral relativism and absence of absolute truth. The authors suggest a Buddhist prayer.

This book was spot on with my life the last 6 years since my divorce, I had NO idea I was responding the wrong way until I ended up in court on an emergency custody hearing order for things that never ever happened, now I realize the brainwashing was years in making.

Frustrating
I'm currently living with my ex husband. Separated under one roof in Covid Lockdown. Did anyone consider how the listeners would be feeling when listening to the audiobook??? Nup. The listeners are probably suffering emotional and psychological abuse yet the narrator is lecturing hard and fast. EI anyone ?? I am tearing my hair out listening to this audiobook. There are no chapter descriptions so you find yourself forced to listen to what the narrator is shoving down your ears whether you want to or not. Hoping that the next chapter will be more fruitful.... What's the next subject called? Chapter 6. That is all. Literally.
