In this weekâs episode, Kate is joined alongside Nathalie and Cilla where they unpack one layered and emotionally heavy dilemma from a stepmum who feels like she is drowning.
She is navigating a high conflict ex who tells the children that their parents would still be happy if she was not around, even though she had nothing to do with the breakup. At the same time, she has discovered emotional cheating in her own marriage, messages, pictures and behaviour that have left her questioning how far it really went.
Between solicitor emails, court battles, blended family pressures and constant tension, she feels like she is carrying more than one person should.
The ladies discuss emotional cheating, trust, burnout, gender roles, the realities many blended families face and so much more!

đ¤MONDAY MOMENTSđ¤
Todayâs dilemma from a member of our Blended community is:
âIâm 5 years on now with my new partner. My ex has consistently turned my kids age 13 and 17 against my new partner calling him the rat and having a code with my youngest to alert him when my partner is at my house - âis it rainingâ heâs there is it sunny ? He isnât there. After 5 years we want to do a family holiday with my partner and kids but my ex has given the kids an ultimatum saying he wonât take them away if they go with the rat and saying he feels sad and he canât believe they want to spend time with someone who hasnât been nice to their dad. He doesnât like my ex and they have had an argument in the past and now he wonât let me move on or my kids accept me new partner. The kids have said they donât want to come on the holiday now as they donât want to upset their dad. What do I do?â
