TalkingParents: Co-Parent App 4+

Amazing!!!

Love being able to have a conversation with my ex and be able to have proof of what all was said to where it is not only easily accessible, but also admissible in court. Love the fact that none of the messages can be deleted or edited. It time stamps when you or they posted comments then time stamps when the other read it. So there is no saying that you never told me this or I never got that message.

The calendar is amazing also. Not only to be able to keep up with appointments for the kids, but it time stamps everything as well. So now when my ex adds that doctors appt the night before I can now provide proof that they aren’t giving me enough heads up to be able to attend the appt.

Only thing I would change is when requesting a record, I don’t always need every single conversation. Maybe just the first and third threads that were posted in. Also the calendar you shouldn’t be able to delete events. Instead just edit them saying cancelled or something like that.

I have messed with the journal part of it as of yet. But I’ve only been fully using it for a little over a week.

Highly recommend this for anyone who has gone through separation that involves children. Just so that you can always protect yourself.

Great app

I wish there was a way to limit the use of the person by telephone number instead of email. My sons father let his girlfriend download the app on her cellphone and now they both harass me. I never know who I’m talking to. Some days it’s her and some days it’s him. But they are both always attacking me. It’s mentally exhausting. I’ve stopped checking my messages, and he’s accused me with the court of ignoring him. So now that I have proof that the girlfriend has the app on her phone, I’ve notified the court so they know why I’ve chosen to ignore their constant harassment and why I’ve chosen my mental health over their constant arguments and fights with me. I don’t know what to do now as far as communication goes since I cannot tell who is reaching out to me. I get anxiety attacks just seeing the notifications. Amazing that people can find anything to use as a weapon to harass and disturb your mental health. Until there’s a way for the girlfriend to be blocked, I will not be using any of these apps but this app was great and I have nothing but great things to say about it. So thank you to the developers. Hope you can fix it to make it be allowed one phone number downloadable rather than email. Thank you

There is zero monitoring.

There is zero monitoring on what each parent says to one another. Your abuser /“co-parent” is allowed to still call names, badger, harass, bully and abuse you. The only possible way to maybe stop them, and this isn’t a guarantee is if you pay thousands of dollars , time off work and time out of your own busy life with your children again to take them back to court where a judge gets a botched version of the reality of what you deal with by your abuser on almost a day to day basis on talking parents. This is put on by attorneys that are paid to twist, turn, stretch and exaggerate every single thing. Then have a judge put stricter boundaries of communication on the two of you. Keeping ALL forms of communication on talking parents. It didn’t change a thing the first. It’s not going to change the second time. So your back to square one being badgered, harassed, bullied and abused by the narcissistic parent. Talking Parents does absolutely nothing to help a high conflict “co-parenting situation. Talking Parents Does zero to keep high conflict/ abusive parents accountable every time they write a message.
