## What is Tough Talk?

Have a hard message from your ex sitting on your screen?

Paste it into ToughTalk and get a calmer, clearer, child-focused reply before you send anything. For co-parents dealing with custody changes, money arguments, holiday plans, last-minute drama, or the usual “how did this become a fight?” nonsense.

ToughTalk helps you pause before replying, lower the heat, and choose words that keep the conversation focused on your child.

WHAT TOUGH TALK DOES

• Rewrite difficult messages — paste what your ex sent and get a calm reply you can edit
• Keep it child-focused — avoid blame, threats, sarcasm, and escalation
• Understand why it works — see what the reply changes and what to avoid
• Practise harder conversations — rehearse realistic roleplay when a simple rewrite is not enough
• Get feedback after roleplay — see where you stayed calm, where tension rose, and what to say better next time

HOW IT WORKS

1. Paste the message from your ex or co-parent
2. Choose the situation if needed: custody, expenses, holidays, schedules, communication, conflict
3. Tap Make it calm
4. Read the suggested reply
5. Copy it, edit it, or rewrite another message

WHEN YOU NEED MORE PRACTICE

ToughTalk also includes AI roleplay for bigger conversations. Choose a scenario and practise with an AI that can respond in different communication styles:

• The Fighter — loud, blaming, threatens court
• The Sniper — sarcastic, undermining, “fine, whatever”
• The Actor — guilt-tripping, twisting the story, playing victim
• The Ghost — avoids, deflects, goes silent, never commits

SCENARIOS YOU CAN WORK THROUGH

• Changing the custody schedule
• Splitting expenses for braces, camp, tutoring, and more
• Planning holidays and special occasions
• Your ex breaking what was agreed
• A new partner being introduced to the kids
• Relocation discussions
• A child refusing visits
• Difficult conversations with your child

DETAILED FEEDBACK FOR ROLEPLAY

After practice sessions, ToughTalk can score and explain:

• Calm Score — did you stay composed?
• Child Focus Score — did you keep the child at the centre?
• Argumentation Score — were your points clear?
• Tension Timeline — where the conversation heated up
• Better Ways to Say It — weaker lines rewritten with explanations
• Tactical Advice — what to change before the real conversation

Works in many languages. No account required.

Stop replying in the heat of the moment. Paste first. Calm it down. Then decide what to send.
