Listener Robert wants to know what an acceptable amount of co-parent communication is when two co-parents are getting along well. His recent relationship  tanked when his girlfriend couldn’t abide his overly friendly interactions with his ex. Diane & Rick explore the need for boundaries and how kids can blame a new partner when the relationship between their parents is suddenly altered when one of them decides to move on.
