Frequently asked questions
Do I need a diagnosis of the other parent?
No. You may use the word narcissist to describe what you are experiencing, but the course does not diagnose another person. It focuses on observable behavior and choices you can make.
Will this work if the other parent does not change?
The lessons focus on your communication, responsibility, and child-focused decisions. They do not require your co-parent to take the course or change behavior, and they do not guarantee a particular response or court result.
