This saved a lot of endless emails and text and monitored the behavior of the other parent by the court. This helped save a lot of name calling and other unhealthy behavior. It did not stop it, but it did help. Best 9.99 a month I have spent in a long time
Absolutely horrible. I think they fully take advantage of a family's difficult situation to make money off you. I was using this app for my very volatile situation with my ex-husband, I had over a years worth of correspondence between us and then they pulled my account from me until I upgraded! I obviously was forced to upgrade in order to get back all the evidence of the verbal abuse I put up with co-parenting with my ex. Absolutely disgusting tactic to make money off of people in abusive terrible situations. Don't sign up for it….there has to be better ways than this.
I'll start off with the negative: Big problem for me is that I don't get notifications through my app when a new message is posted. This has huge consequences and should never happen!
Now on to the positive. I like this app, it has saved me from a daily load of horrible text messages by my X. He is now holding back in his ugliness, and when he does send me nasty messages, it is recorded and unalterable. The complete communication is one click printable and useable in court, as opposed to printing out separate emails and text messages. So it costs some money, I think the convenience offered and time saved is definitely worth a few bucks a month.
I would add wording in a court document that states communication should be about children's logistics only, this way there really is no room for anything else, making it (almost) impossible for narcissist to spew their gall. All in all this is a great tool to keep nasty X-es at bay yet still be able to communicate about your children.
I really liked using this app. My ex is an extreme narcissist and everything that I always say gets misconstrued and turned around in telephone conversation. This puts the power back in my hands and lets me have more control over conversations and showing when he's not being honest or decisive. It was great because I could download copies and have it sent to the guardian ad litem and to the judge. The one thing I will say you never do win with a narcissist but it's a tool to add to an Arsenal to help combat them. The other thing I love is that it's taken away they need to have to communicate via the telephone. It's nice because it's free but for a small upgrade you can print copies as well. Highly recommend.
My ex-wife constantly ignored court ordered cooperation with me on our children's issues, and manipulated my custody time simply by ignoring messages, etc. I insisted that the court order using Talking Parents, and after two years the judge finally agreed. It has been great. My Ex and I actually have important conversations about our children because we have to. The tracking of responses and views is important, because now she can no longer say that she "never received" my messages about our children (which was her code for "deleted without reading it"). She also knows that her behavior is officially being documented, so her communication is far more reasonable and civil. Use of T. P. has improved my family situation and helped to protect my time to maintain relationships with my children a great deal.
Thank you for your great review, Mike! We're glad that Talking Parents has been so helpful in getting you through your legal issues. This was our aim from the beginning and we're happy to have helped. We appreciate your feedback!
I guess this site is newer than I thought. Seems like people either haven't heard of it or they think it's only good for women with do-nothing ex's who don't care about their kids. I get along great with the mother of my child and we work together to provide a good life for our son, we use talkingparents because it's convenient and we've got like 16 years to go and we think it's a good idea to keep a complete record of our discussions about him. I just copy and paste the entire record every so often in case anything ever happens to the site, I guess thats the only real downside, though I don't know why it would ever disappear. I know some people who use it because they don't get along and it seems to work ok for that too
