About this listen

There are at least two sides to every conflict, and when it's between divorced or separated parents, sparks can fly. In each episode, co-parenting experts Diane Dierks and Rick Voyles answer listener questions and talk about the benefits and risks of letting go vs. holding on to the conflict in a variety of complex topics facing co-parents today. Do you hold on for the sake of the children or let go for the same reason? Episodes are released every Sunday at noon. Listeners can email diane@cpdilemmas.com and pose a question/dilemma that may be answered on an upcoming episode. What do you do when the other parent won't be flexible with the parenting schedule? How do you respond to a co-parent who is constantly blowing up your phone with texts? Is it really important to talk to your children when they are at the other parent's house? And what about the parent who won't share important information with you about the children? Do you give in to the other parent's antics or should you hold your ground? Get answers to these questions and more on Co-Parent Dilemmas, wherever you get your podcasts.

    Today, we are replaying one of our most popular episodes entitled “Narcissists in Co-Parenting.” We also want you to know that starting this week, we are taking a podcast pause for a little while to re-evaluate where we go from here. There is a lot of content for you to listen to while we’re on pause. If you are a new listener, this will give you time to catch up. You might want to start with episode one and work through all of them at your own pace. If you're one of our many faithful followers, we thank you for your weekly participation with us on our journey, and encourage you to go back and re-listen to some episodes. We know that as co-parents grow in their journey, they are more prepared to hear certain things after some growth than they were when they initially heard them. For our Patreon listeners, we will be communicating directly with you about your subscription and about the Hump Day Help Group, so look for messages about that this week. Thanks for listening and please continue to message us through the website if you have questions or feedback. Much love to you all.
