  • Co-parenting with a narcissist with Chantal Contorines
    Nov 14 2025

    In this episode of the Frolo podcast, Zoë Desmond speaks with Chantel Contorines, a certified high conflict divorce and co-parenting coach. They discuss the complexities of co-parenting with a narcissistic or controlling ex-partner, the ongoing challenges of post-separation abuse and the impact of such dynamics on children. Chantel shares insights on navigating the legal system, the importance of community support and strategies for educating children about healthy relationships.



    Listen now to hear more about:



    💚 Why co-parenting with a narcissist is often more about counter-parenting



    💚 How post-separation abuse can be more damaging than the relationship itself



    💚 How narcissists often use the court system to exert control and manipulate their ex-partners



    💚 How hope and healing are possible with action and commitment. Abusers rarely change, so it's important to focus on personal empowerment.
