When divorced parents can't align on parenting approaches

My ex-husband and I are trying to co-parent our eight-year-old and we both want to be good parents but we have completely different approaches to discipline and boundaries and our kid is starting to play us against each other. We can't figure out how to present a united front when we fundamentally disagree about parenting philosophy.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The end of the marriage didn't end the need for shared decision-making, but created space for fundamental differences to become battlegrounds.
