Jay and Petra unpack a real-life relationship dilemma submitted by a listener. A man is now in a new relationship, but his girlfriend believes he should cut ties with his former stepchildren now that his relationship with their mother has ended—even though he helped raise them, and they are considered siblings to his biological son.

This emotionally complex episode explores the blurred lines of modern family dynamics, the role of step-parents after breakups, and the tension that arises when new partners feel threatened by past attachments.

Should love for stepchildren end when the romantic relationship does? What’s fair, and what’s crossing the line?
