Help! My Kids Don’t Want Me to Date!

Blending families is messy. There are no hard and fast rules. Today’s solo episode is devoted to one listener question about dating and motherhood. The question’s theme of intentionality, about modeling relationships with the kids and her healing journey is far from an isolated experience. There will be nuggets in this episode to savor and work with for separate conversations between the ex, the boyfriend, and the kids.
