Co-Parent, Diane Schroeder, Shares Her Story with TalkingParents
Fort Walton Beach, FL, Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diane Schroeder and her ex-husband got divorced when their son was two years old. In an exclusive interview with TalkingParents, Schroeder opens up about the communication challenges she and her co-parent faced post-divorce.
“There were a lot of hurt feelings, so we ended up going back and forth a lot with text messages and sometimes through e-mail. So, that’s when we decided we had to come up with something to make it more productive for us and for our son.”
Schroeder says her divorce attorney recommended TalkingParents around the time she and her ex were going through mediation because their communication was so unhealthy.
“Instantly, I felt like it helped a lot. I describe TalkingParents like using a communication filter. I knew that if a message was in there, I could decide whether to open it now or later depending on where I was at emotionally.”
A long-time user, Schroeder says TalkingParents has helped her co-parenting situation tremendously over the last nine years.
“TalkingParents has improved my life and my child’s life because I’m able to have better communication with his dad. So, it’s less hostile, less anxiety filled, and it’s really smoothed out a lot of the tension and conflict we had before. Now that my son is almost a tween, we’ve created this new normal for us and I’ve found that I’m much happier and calmer, which translates to him being happier and calmer. My co-parent and I even tried to stop using TalkingParents like a year and a half ago, but it didn’t work out. It’s just easy and it keeps us both accountable.”

The initiative seeks to tell the stories of real co-parents who use TalkingParents in their everyday lives.
