Listener Maria asks what she can do to run interference with her kids when their step-mother seems bent on turning them against their mom. Even dad has apologized to mom for his wife’s behavior,  but he does little to make things better for the kids. Diane & Rick discuss what can and can’t be done when a person who is not a party to the legal parenting plan wreaks havoc on the family system.
