Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fighting to Stay a Father in Family Court with Derek Salyers
Q: How did you use AI to help in your case?
I used AI to understand legal language, draft clauses like right of first refusal, and to generate questions for my lawyer; I also used it to rewrite messages to be neutral and reduce emotional tone, but I always fact-checked independently.
Stop Saying “I’m Sorry”: Reclaiming Power After Divorce with Nicole Sodoma
Q: What is your take on parallel parenting and when might it be helpful?
Parallel parenting is a practical path for high-conflict situations where cooperative parenting isn't feasible. It focuses on keeping the two households aligned in the same direction, even if the two parents aren't collaborating closely, and it requires clear boundaries and processes to minimize conflict for the children.
Secrets of the Narcissist Mind with Tracy Malone
Q: In terms of post-divorce, what is the most common abuse that you see in these relationships?
Tracy notes financial abuse and interference with child-related expenses as common issues, followed by coercive control and withholding resources, and stresses building comprehensive financial plans and clear reimbursement expectations.
Secrets of the Narcissist Mind with Tracy Malone
Q: What about in terms of communication between co-parents? What's some advice you could give our listeners on how to communicate with their ex?
The host and guest emphasize keeping emotions in check, using brief, informative, and friendly communication, and documenting conversations in apps or emails to create a clear record and reduce opportunities for manipulation.
Secrets of the Narcissist Mind with Tracy Malone
Q: I know that you're a big advocate for parallel parenting. Could you define that for us and help us understand how parallel parenting might be a good solution for these types of challenged relationships?
She explains that parallel parenting accepts that each parent will operate independently at the other home, with strong boundaries and a structured parenting plan to reduce conflict and protect children, while tools and rules are formalized to minimize manipulation and coercive behavior.
