My Kids Don’t Know We’re Moving In With My New Boyfriend
How do you tell your kids that your new partner is moving in? That’s the question we’re tackling today. Ami is a widow and single mom living in California, and she’s house hunting with her new boyfriend — but her two adolescent boys don’t know about it. This episode is about making space for honest conversations around grief and how to set forth on new beginnings. Talkaboutable is produced by Lemonada Media, in partnership with the Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health at Montage Health, and made possible through funding from the Montage Health Foundation. Together, we are committed to helping families talk about the issues children, teens, and young adults are facing today. We believe that when these conversations happen at home — even about the most challenging subjects — children build the skills they need to flourish. Because when families are connected, the hard moments become more bearable, the good moments become even better, and it all becomes Talkaboutable.

Ever wish someone could just tell you the right thing to say to your kid? Me too. Parenting brings us the greatest gifts and it can be messy, confusing, and downright exhausting.
I’m Dr. Susan Swick, a child and adolescent psychiatrist. I’m also a mom of 4. And I believe if you can talk about it with your kids, you can tackle it. We can make it Talkaboutable.
Each episode, I’ll hear from a parent about what’s keeping them up at night and together, we’ll unlock how they are already equipped to face and manage it. When our kids handle even the most difficult situations alongside a caring adult, the hard moments become more bearable, and the good moments become even better.
