    Opening & Welcome

    0:00

    Lena: Hey everyone, welcome to this personalized podcast from BeFreed! I'm Lena, and I'm here with Eli, and we are genuinely excited to dive into something that hits close to home for so many parents out there-navigating the incredibly challenging world of co-parenting with someone who seems to live in their own version of reality.

    0:21

    Eli: Absolutely, Lena! And wow, this is such a timely topic. We're talking about those situations where you're trying to negotiate a fair parenting arrangement, but your co-parent is throwing out statements that just aren't true-and here's the kicker-they actually seem to believe what they're saying. It's like you're speaking different languages entirely.

    0:41

    Lena: Right! And for our listeners who are in this situation, you know exactly what we mean. It's that moment when your ex says something like "I always pick up the kids on time" when you have documented proof of them being late fifteen times in the last month, but they genuinely seem convinced of their own narrative.
