Diane & Rick address listener Mindy’s dilemma around the struggle between her and her co-parent around medical decision-making. They discuss conflicts around common childhood issues such as ADHD, sensory disorders, Anxiety, autism, dental appointments, etc. and whether or not pursuing court action as a remedy is better for the child than other alternatives. Should she hold on or let it go?
