After a divorce, it can be easy to jump into a new relationship to distract from the emotional pain. But this is rarely a good option for the well-being of the children.


In this episode, Justin Sisemore and Andrea Jones explore the potential challenges of introducing a new love interest to your children after a divorce. They share personal experiences and offer advice on timing, communication, establishing boundaries, and prioritizing the well-being of the children. 


Justin and Andrea discuss:


  • The importance of taking your time to heal emotionally before jumping into a new relationship  
  • How to introduce a new relationship to children without replacing an existing parent
  • The benefit of a step-parent counsellor when introducing a new significant other and taking the next step in a relationship

  • And more!
