Co-parenting, Kidnapping and a Narcissist Parent

Buckle up folks, this week's episode is a tear jerker. 

Trigger warning: Childhood trauma, abuse and a narcissist parent. 

This last month, Kaylee adventured to her hometown, Monticello, Indiana to interview her longtime, childhood friend Caity. 

Caity became a mother at 19 and though she was young – she had the insight and maturity to quickly realize that her child's father was not the one for her, but he was the one she would navigate co-parenting with in order to give her child (and herself) the life that they deserve.

Caity, her ex (who we fondly refer to as "baby daddy" throughout the episode), and her husband all work together to find balance and friendship – for their sake, and their son's. Their family stories are heartwarming – though they did not get there without patience and resilience. 

Throughout the interview – Kaylee couldn't help but reflect on her own childhood. Co-parenting, Kidnapping and a Narcissist Parent is more than just an interview with a good friend –it is a glimpse into Kaylee's childhood, the abuse she survived from a narcissist father, and how she was able to love and grieve him in life and in death.
