The task of dealing with your ex in a productive way is often something that is easier said than done. Especially so when emotions like anger, resentment and frustration - relating to a whole array of issues - can often get in the way.

In this episode Dr Sonia Cann-Milland, a step-family specialist counsellor (PhD) and step and biological mother of five children herself, provides some expert guidance on challenges such as coping with a particularly difficult ex-partner, examples of effective co-parenting, the impact of geographic distance between co-parents and the role that counselling can play to help parents better manage their situation.
