She's at family gatherings. His mum still helps her out. His sister invites her to birthday parties. And you're left wondering – why does she get to stay in, while you feel like the outsider?

In this episode, I break down why the high conflict ex clings to his family and the manipulation tactics she uses to stay there.

You'll learn why his family allows this to happen, and the practical strategies you can use to limit the value of those connections to her, giving her less reason to stay connected.

More importantly, I talk about what this means for you, and how to separate their choices from your worth.

If you've ever felt like you're competing for a place that should be yours, or like she's winning because his family still treats her like she belongs, this episode will help you see the situation clearly, and know what you can do about it.
