018: Jane|How Do I Help My Boyfriend Without Overstepping Boundaries? (Relationship Q&A)

In this episode of the Amazing Relationships Podcast, Jennifer and Peter Diepstraten have an interactive coaching session with anonymous caller Jane, who’s frustrated by her boyfriend and his 17-year-old son’s lack of communication.  The 17-year old son recently graduated from high school, sits in his room and plays video games all day, while his friends have gotten jobs or gone off to college.  But Jane’s boyfriend seems powerless to help the son, and Jane is left stymied because she doesn’t know how to act since she’s “just a girlfriend.”  Jane says, “I know I’m not supposed to get in the fray, it’s not my kid.  You know, who am I? I’m just a girlfriend.  But it’s driving me crazy.”  Jane wants to know how to help her boyfriend and his son succeed so she can be a supportive girlfriend, rather than alienate them.  Tune in to hear what Jane sees through getting her questions answered and her excitement about the new way she sees she can approach her boyfriend and his son.
