Offering 'benefit of doubt' to behaviour that looks, seems and sounds abusive, passively lets abuse continue where that is happening. Post separation abuse is actually what a lot of your podcast is really about. So why do you keep making excuses for abusive behaviour? Any decent parent will be willing to step up and self-reflect. Unfortunately there are heaps of parents who are not able to love their own kids more than they hate their ex spouse and are just using the shared care of children as part of a systematic pattern of post separation abuse. I would like to hear more acceptance of this and if nothing else, advocacy for all "professionals in this space" to better understand the dynamics of power and control. How about you interview Dr Emma Katz? Dr Evan Stark.
I would love you to offer some suggestions for dealing with a co-parent that uses the tactic of breadcrumbing when it comes to 'shared' care and sharing health & medical information.
There should be no excuse for abuse right? (Except if you a post-separation that is, then its just accepted as normal, to be expected, disappointing but learn to accept it.) This is what I hear.
