Why an app might change your toxic co-parenting relationship
Why an app might change your toxic co-parenting relationship
Anyone involved in a child custody case with a difficult ex partner knows how trying communication can be. It might feel impossible to deal with if they’re blowing up your phone with calls and messages. But you can’t just block them. After all, you must talk to this person about your shared child and all that requires: pickup and drop off coordination, updates about school and doctor’s visits, and other necessary details.
In the wake of romantic relationships coming to an end, there can be a lot of volatile situations and feelings. You may find yourself unable to communicate because of your own emotions or because your ex-partner communicates in a way that is detrimental to your mental health, the Family Wizard app may be for you.
This app is a fantastic tool that acts as a buffer between parents to keep everything going smoothly. It works by funneling all communication through the app rather than through your phone. All texts, calls, and other messages are stored securely, and even if you stop using it, your communications are saved. This is crucial for people who have escaped less than healthy relationships to maintain open lines of communication regarding their children while protecting their emotional and mental wellbeing.
There are a handful of great features on this app. Perhaps the most necessary and practical feature is messages. Each message is time-stamped, and everyone is held accountable through the login activity monitor which shows exactly when everyone logged in to view messages. Not only that, but you also have the option to “drop a pin.” That’s an especially good tool for proving you were on time for drop off and pick ups.
Additionally, they have a “Tone Analyzer” that will check how statements are perceived, which can ultimately save a lot of headache and drama. Sometimes, feelings can get in the way when they don’t need to, and this can alleviate that problem.
They monitor calls, too. All calls are recorded, and activities like audio muting and the like are reported in the details of the call.
Another reason to use this app is their partnership with Keepr.
Keepr is alcohol monitoring that is paired with an app.
The user is expected to use the breath analyzer tool which then reports to the app, and they are required to talk a selfie while they do it—a safeguard to prevent dishonesty and circumvention.
This all serves to create a co-parenting culture of transparency and mutual cooperation, removing personal feelings from the equation. That sort of objectivity fosters open communication.
When that is easier, everything becomes easier. My Family Wizard can become the center to your co-parenting relationship, making it easier for you to have peace of mind without unnecessary conflict, blurring the most important reason for your co-parenting relationship: the wellbeing of your kids. We’ve seen the positive impact of the Family Wizard app in this firm, and we’re really excited about being able to share that with our clients who would benefit from its use.
