When a relationship or a situationship comes to an end, sometimes we have little bundles of joy that come into the world expectedly or not, but when they are here there is nothing we can do about it except raise them to the best of our abilities.
With these situations there are times that we have to deal the other parent and they can be deemed as the “Bitter Parent”. If they are using your children against you or holding certain things against you to keep you away from your babies, then this podcast is for you.
To combat the “bitter parent,” the key is to not engage in anything negative that would give them an advantage over you. At the end of the day, that is what they want. To have some type of leverage against you, even if you are doing everything you can for your child or children. Patience is hard, but it is key because at the end of the day, your babies will see all the effort that you are putting in.
One main thing to remember is to never give up on them. The situation may be hard or complicated, but if you stay consistent with your intentions your children will love you for it more in the long run.
Their minds may try to get swayed to think negatively but if you continue to be positive then the positive will out way the negative. If you are been separated from them for a long period of time, the present does not make up for the past, but the fact that you are there for them will speak volumes if they don’t or didn’t see it at the time. Again, consistency is key to building or developing a healthy and thriving relationship with your children.
Be patient
Be consistent
Never give up
If you can follow those 3 simple steps, it can help with the way that you are viewed and everything that the other parent is trying to do to tarnish who you are. Never give in to the downs, only the ups.
