Step-Parenting and Teenager, Oof!

In this week’s episode, Morgen & Trisha talk not only about
teenagers but also navigating this already tricky stage while
also being a step-parent. Jack is a month away from being 18, and
soon, he’ll be an adult going off to college 10 hours away from
home. Being a child of divorce means his time is split evenly
between both households, so all parties already feel like time
with him is limited. Now knowing he will be off on his own soon,
Trisha fears that she hasn’t cultivated a strong enough
connection to maintain the level of what their relationship is
now through the distance. Essentially, she and Jacen wish they
could turn back time to get more of it with Jack. What parent
doesn’t feel that way with teenagers, though?! Morgen and Trisha
talk about fears, mood swings, teenagers and toddlers, and
everything in between. Does anyone from the parenting tribe want
to chime in on their teenager experiences?! Please do share with
