17.01.2022 We often hear of people staying in unhealthy relationships "for the sake of the kids". The article below explains how remaining can actually be worse than working together with skilled professionals to develop workable parenting arrangements after a separation. Seeking professional assistance to turn a bad relationship into a positive co-parenting arrangement through relationship counselling or mediation may support families where there is unhealthy conflict. Mediation will focus on the practical issues which arise and workable solutions for each unique family situation.
