Although it is extremely difficult to co-parent with a narcissist, you must try for the sake of your children. If you receive correspondence via text or email from your ex and it includes insults, demands, accusations etc you must practice the art of "do not engage".
Here is an example
You: "Can I see the kids for an extra two days this month"
Ex: "I guess so. I've already made plans but whatever it's always about you and what YOU want"
This should be your reply:
You: "Great, thank you. I can't wait to see them".
Take back your power. Take back the power of not engaging with a narcissist. Rise above and recognize the bait.
When responding to your ex always picture someone else reading over your shoulder. That person being a judge, a lawyer, or a decision-maker. Stick to facts, and always speak positively about the children. Resist the urge to engage in the drama. remember that anything you put on paper will likely be shown to the courts so keep that in mind and always look like the cooperative and amicable co-parent.
