Co-Parenting Counseling in New Milford, CT
Helping Parents Like You to Co–Parent in a Compassionate and Caring Way.
Getting along after your divorce to parent as a unit is a very difficult task. Very often people in this situation face:
- Feeling confusion regarding what your relationship with your ex-spouse “should” look like
- Feeling disconnected from your child when you no longer see them everyday
- Feeling a loss of control over how your child is raised when you are not present
- Finding a way to come to a healthy compromise with your ex spouse
- Dealing with new partners entering your child’s life
- Arguing with your ex-spouse over matters that you didn’t argue over before
- Feeling judged on the way you live your life or manage the lives of your child/children
Even though you may feel frustrated and discouraged, know that many people in your situation are facing similar challenges and have been able to find hope and work together in the best interest of their children
