HIGH CONFLICT
Exposure to parent conflict hurts parents and children!
High conflict parents never thought they'd end up in a divorce battle that never ends, but that is how it seems when dealing with hostile co-parenting situations. Failure to communicate effectively results in chaos, added stress and higher legal bills. It doesn't have to be that way. Some professionals have little understanding of what drives high conflict. Without some understanding of what is driving the conflict, there is little hope that they can help parents come up with workable solutions.
Susan Carpenter understands that high conflict divorce may stem from underlying issues related to domestic abuse, chemical dependency or mental health issues. Some families are impacted by relationship patterns or trauma that interferes with the ability to move on after divorce and develop an effective co-parenting relationship. Parents who end up labeled as "high conflict" get stuck in a revolving door of accusations and blame with no real solutions. It's no surprise that highly dysfunctional marriages become highly dysfunctional divorce when there has been no intervention to address communication and conflict patterns historical to the relationship. Susan Carpenter works hard to help families learn new ways of interacting to get back to life balance and focus on the children.
