| 0:00.0 | All right, Rebecca, e-mails, what do you say? |
| 0:02.8 | Okay, welcome to a Rebecca soad. |
| 0:04.8 | Welcome to a Rebecca soad, Patron Sam from Hong Kong, he says, |
| 0:09.3 | you mentioned in passing that the traumatic effects of divorce on children are |
| 0:15.1 | substantially mitigated, if not eliminated altogether, if it is handled well by the parents, |
| 0:20.7 | if the divorce is handled well by the parents. Could you talk more about this? Any data on this? |
| 0:26.9 | I'm going to chime in here, but do you have anything to chime in on this? |
| 0:29.8 | I mean, I think the number one thing is don't use the child as a communication tool, |
| 0:36.7 | have the adults talk to each other. Another big one is don't fight excessively in front of the child. |
| 0:46.5 | I mean, I would say just anecdotally in my work what impacts the kids the most is just watching |

| 1:29.4 | kid away to that country and never come back. But I have this, I mean, I don't see a ton of kids. |
| 1:36.4 | And I've had this happen three different times over my time in private practice. How much it impacts |
| 1:43.0 | that one parent can have that level of control, restricting what the other parent can do with the kid. |
| 1:49.5 | There's tons more. I don't know what you would say. |
| 1:52.6 | Yeah. Well, he only had those are the major pillars that you highlighted. The only thing I'll add |
| 1:59.6 | in relation to the last one is that you both set out or at least you as a divorcing individual |
