Diane & Rick discuss the problem of others, like family, friends, and untrained professionals, guilting high-conflict co-parents into trying harder to “just get along”. They explore ideas on how to talk to kids about difficult subjects when one parent is incapable of discretion, putting the other parent in the position of having to help a child process the confusion. They remind listeners that real world high-conflict co-parenting doesn’t have quick, clean, or antiseptic answers.

The Balance of Gray
God, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you’d expect!

Listener Janelle wonders if it is okay to snoop on her child’s phone and worries that if the other parent finds out, he will be upset. Diane & Rick wonder why this is even a question and discuss the importance of managing phone use, regardless of who bought and pays for the phone. They go over the bullet points of their court order language for phone communication, as well as the need to talk to kids about the rules. Also discussed are the reasons kids sometimes don’t want to talk to a parent while at the other parent’s home.
