Akothee has brought about a fresh online debate after sharing a of posts addressing co-parenting, parenting responsibility, and what she describes as the misuse of children in post-separation conflicts.
In her posts, she criticised what she termed as unhealthy co-parenting dynamics, where children are allegedly used as tools of control, punishment, or negotiation between separated parents.
She argued that co-parenting should be based on shared responsibility and mutual contribution toward a child’s upbringing, rather than placing financial or emotional pressure on one parent alone.
She further warned that legal intervention is not always the solution in custody and child support disputes, saying outcomes depend on how responsibly each parent fulfils their duties.
Akothee also raised concern over what she described as escalating conflict between former partners, saying such disputes often spill over into children’s emotional wellbeing. She claimed that some children are exposed to ongoing parental hostility, which can affect their behaviour, relationships, and mental health later in life.
