For anyone who is struggling with the impact of divorce on their children, this episode is packed with eye-opening revelations for parents who may have inadvertently put their child in the middle of their battles.  Modern Divorce Podcast Host Billie Tarascio is joined by Greek attorney and mediator Despina Mavridou, who talks about the concepts in her new book, "Mom, Dad, Can You Hear Me?"

Common practice among divorcing parents is to make the other parent look bad either overtly, or by fixing the other parent's failings by coming to the rescue for the child in the middle. While rescuing the child every time Mom or Dad fails may be well-meaning, it's the child that suffers as a result. It's less obvious than trash-talking the other parent, but the child feels it nonetheless. That's just one of the examples Despina reveals in this podcast, which is a must-listen for divorcing parents.
