Co parenting with a narcissist

[Babe2807]

I'd like to start a thread in the hope that I get some real time support and guidance on how to co parent with a very difficult, selfish, angry, vindictive and narcissistic ex husband.

Short history: he cheated on me 3,5years ago, claiming he wanted me and her. He then left and has put me through the worst court nightmares in terms of children, finances and even criminal (he attacked me 2 years ago). All these are now done and I'm through the other side.

The issue now is that we need to co parent our now 5 and 9 year old children. But not a day goes by where he doesn't argue, create conflict, disagree with everything and really make my life hard.
I work full time, own my own house and claim no child maintenance from him. It is the same on his side.

Would you all please help me in responding to some of the challenges and issues I face?

You can not co-parent with a narcissist. You parallel parent. Google will give you some tips. Mine got bored after years of abusing us. It's so peaceful now he's buggered off. Good luck, it is seriously tough.

Narcissists can’t be helped, wonder if you could build up a case to have full custody of the children.
How is he with the children?
