0:00.0	You are listening to Feeding the Mouth That Bites You with Ashley Parrish and Jessica Pfeiffer.
0:05.4	A weekly podcast guide on parenting teens and launching them into the world. As always, we are
0:11.0	joined by psychologist and author, Dr. Ken Wilkes. Hey, everyone and welcome back on today's episode.
0:18.5	We're going to be discussing raising teens after divorce. I'm your
0:22.9	host, Ashley Parrish. I'm joined by my co-host Jessica Pfeiffer. Hey there. Dr. Kenwell
0:28.8	Gis. Hey. I am especially grateful for this episode. If you know my story, then you know that I am
0:37.0	from divorced parents and I have been divorced
0:40.6	myself. I think this is a great opportunity to kind of get into the nitty gritty of some questions
0:47.6	that parents have that are walking this road. Dr. Kenna, I'm especially grateful that you can give us some expert advice on this,

1:35.9	I totally agree. And I feel like I have so many friends that are in this position and I'm not exactly sure how to counsel them when they come to me and they're saying this is what my ex is doing. I'm not exactly sure what I should do with the kids and I hear that a lot
1:49.4	with just friends and family that struggle with this situation. So I'm glad that we're talking about this
1:55.8	and I'm looking forward to hearing some of your answers to my questions. So Dr. Ken, let's start out. We're at a kind of fork in the
2:03.4	road here because we're going to have people, we're going to have listeners that are in two different
