Rebecca Weltmer is the author of Escaping the Co-Parenting Trap. Through lived experience, survivor wisdom and trauma-informed strategy, she helps individuals move from survival to empowerment by teaching trauma-informed, practical strategies that protect their peace, strengthen their parenting and prioritize their children’s emotional safety.

 

You can’t control the chaos - but you can control 

your energy, your environment and your parenting.

 

If you have ever been told to “just co-parent” with someone who thrives on conflict, this book was created for you.

 

High-conflict co-parenting leaves parents feeling disoriented, reactive and constantly on edge. The rules keep changing. The conflict never resolves. And traditional co-parenting advice fails in high-conflict situations. Individuals deserve tools that help them lead with calm and strength, not chaos.

 

In support of those who:

  • Were blindsided by separation, divorce or legal matters
  • Are navigating high-conflict or emotionally manipulative co-parenting dynamics
  • Want to protect their child without becoming reactive
  • Want to empower themselves, but know the old ways aren’t working
  • Family and friends seeking to understand and support loved ones in conflict
  • Advocates and professionals supporting survivors

 

 

ABOUT

REBECCA WELTMER

 

Rebecca did not set out to write a book. She set out to survive. Eight weeks after giving birth to her premature son, Rebecca was blindsided with divorce and thrust into a high-conflict co-parenting dynamic. Forced to rebuild not only her home, but safety and truth for her child, she learned how to move from survival to empowered and calm leadership. 

 

Today, Rebecca uses her lived experience to guide individuals through high-conflict co-parenting with clarity, confidence and steadiness, helping them break cycles and protect what matters most. Blending lived experience, survivor wisdom and trauma-informed insight, Rebecca empowers audiences to move from survival to leadership -showing them not just how to “be the bigger person,” but how to do so with boundaries, purpose and peace.

In Closing... 

Your journey continues. You may still face hard moments. You may still get triggered. You may still find yourself pulled into conflict or grief. That does not mean you have failed. It means you are human. And healing is not a straight line ... it is a spiral, a practice, a daily decision: 

 

Every time you choose calm over chaos 

Every time you show up for your child when it is hard

Every time you protect your peace instead of chasing validation

 

You are doing the work. You are leading a strong path forward. You are not just a co-parent. You are a strong individual. You are a survivor. You are a leader in your own life. You are the safe place your child will remember. You are the parent who chooses peace in the face of war. You are the pattern-breaker. You are not the chaos. You are the leader of your own destiny. 

 

And you are not alone on this journey.
