You can't control your ex—but you can control how you show up for your kids.

Co-parenting is hard enough. But when your ex is manipulative, aggressive, or constantly pushing boundaries, it can feel impossible. You're left navigating chaos, protecting your child, and trying not to lose yourself in the process.

Co-Parenting with a Toxic Ex is your essential survival guide to setting boundaries, staying grounded, and prioritizing your child's well-being—even when your co-parent won't cooperate. It's not about fixing them—it's about empowering you.

Author Mira Joywell offers compassionate, real-world strategies to help you reduce conflict, protect your peace, and raise strong, resilient kids in a high-conflict parenting dynamic.

  • Recognize manipulation tactics and protect your mental space

  • Set and enforce boundaries without constant escalation

  • Communicate clearly and calmly—even with a difficult ex

  • Keep your child out of the middle and support their emotional health

  • Take care of your own mental health and rebuild your confidence

    Whether you're newly separated or years into a toxic dynamic, this book gives you the tools to create stability and strength—for yourself and your kids.

    Scroll up and start building a calmer, stronger co-parenting future—no matter who you're dealing with.
