Dear Mama: Navigating Co-Parenting After a Toxic Relationship

Dear Mama: A Special Mother’s Day Episode on Co-Parenting After a Toxic Relationship

Motherhood is one of the most beautiful yet challenging journeys a woman can take. But when you add co-parenting after a toxic relationship into the mix, the emotional toll can feel overwhelming. The heartbreak of not being with your child full-time, the loneliness of doing it all alone, and the constant struggle to navigate boundaries with an ex can leave you feeling lost.

That’s why I created a special Mother’s Day episode of Healing with Teeling, dedicated to all the mamas who are navigating co-parenting after heartbreak. In this episode, I share the raw truth about my own journey, the hardest lessons I’ve learned, and the words I wish someone had told me when I felt broken.

The Biggest Challenge: Letting Go of the Life I Thought I’d Have

One of the hardest parts of co-parenting after a toxic relationship was accepting that I wouldn’t be with my child full-time anymore. The shift from seeing my little one every single day to sharing custody felt like a heartbreak I had to relive over and over again. It was lonely, painful, and full of guilt. But over time, I learned that my worth as a mother isn’t defined by the number of hours I spend with my child—it’s in the love, security, and guidance I provide when we are together.

Finding Peace in the Chaos

Co-parenting with a difficult ex comes with its own set of struggles—differences in parenting styles, unresolved pain, and the challenge of setting boundaries without constant conflict. In this episode, I talk about how I learned to communicate effectively, protect my peace, and prioritize my child’s emotional well-being above all else.

If You’re Struggling, You’re Not Alone

If you’re navigating co-parenting after a toxic relationship, I want you to know that you are not alone. You don’t have to carry the weight of resentment, guilt, or loneliness by yourself. There is a way forward, and healing is possible.
