More ways to listen:
Stepfamily expert Ron Deal says, "Never mind that your children are adults, this is a hard transition for them because it comes at a great cost".
In this episode, we'll uncover the challenging family issues that often come up when a parent with adult children chooses to remarry or become romantically involved.
We'll explore these sensitive issues from two unique perspectives. The perspective of the parent who is struggling to understand why their adult child is reacting emotionally to their decision to remarry…
…AND…
…from the perspective of the adult child who could be experiencing painful emotions as they struggle to accept their parent's remarriage.
This episode is an opportunity for parent and adult child to help ease tensions, preserve your relationship, and take a step forward as a family.
You'll Discover:
Valuable insight and understanding around the perspective of everyone in your family
Practical tips for communicating, maintaining connection and moving beyond the tension
