Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are working very hard to keep a healthy relationship for the sake of their children. Although the two have come a long way since Angelina filed for divorce last year, it is reportedly still hard for them to act and communicate civilly because their emotions are still raw and the split is too painful to talk about.

"When Brad and Angelina talk these days it's just about the kids," a source tells HollywoodLife.com. "Either Brad's ringing one of the phones to speak to them, and Angie picks up, or they talk directly together about any child related issues as and when they arise."

"They both have excellent management and legal terms dealing with all the other stuff, and neither sees the point in calling just to have a friendly chat, or to rehash old business," the source adds. "The most important thing for them both has been to get to a stage where they are able to put the anger behind them and communicate in a healthy manner once again for the sake of the kids."

As previously reported, Brad and Angelina have made a pact not to diss each other, both in public and in front of their children. However, they still avoid private conversation about their split because it is "still too painful and emotions still too raw for them to be talking about what went wrong, and what could have been different." The source further claims that it will be like "picking at a scab, they both need to heal more first."
