Single-parent and blended families are just some of the many types of modern families. Raising a child can be difficult under any circumstance, but even more so if you’re going it alone. It can be hard and lonely. And how do you reach a place with your ex-partner that’s positive for your whole crew?

Jessica Rowe chats with a parent who’s found a great co-parenting balance with her ex-partner, but their path has not been without its challenges.

In this episode of Navigating Parenthood – Imperfect Parents, brought to you by HCF, we learn about the struggles parents go through after separation, how to protect your kids from the break-up shrapnel and go on to thrive.
