Episode notes
Father Married Former Student
- The caller's Italian immigrant father dated a former student when the caller was a teen and is now marrying her, causing family conflict.
- The relationship included the girlfriend trying to act like a mother figure and getting involved in school events, which pushed the caller away.
Age-Gap Relationships May Signal Trauma
- The hosts suggest the girlfriend's behavior (acting maternal, seeking older partner) may indicate unresolved trauma or unhealthy motives.
- They infer such dynamics often stem from difficult childhoods or being drawn to older authority figures.
Set And Enforce Boundaries With Your Dad
- Stavros advises setting firm boundaries: communicate you love your dad but will not tolerate disrespect toward your mother or parentalizing behavior from the fiancée.
- Enforce those boundaries by refusing contact if they are violated and let your dad choose his priorities.
