Chris Burkett
About this episode
This episode delves into the complex dynamics of co-parenting and blending families after divorce. A woman shares her struggles as she navigates a relationship with her boyfriend of 4 years, who co-parents his daughter with his ex-wife. Despite their strong bond, unresolved tensions arise due to the ex-wife's persistent presence and the boyfriend's reluctance to establish clear boundaries. The emailer grapples with feelings of exclusion and emotional insecurity, rooted in her own experiences of a tumultuous childhood. Through heartfelt conversations and introspection, she seeks advice on fostering understanding and compromise while prioritizing the well-being of all involved. This story is a testament to the complexities of modern relationships and the resilience required to forge a path of mutual respect and harmony.
