Balancing Love and Family: Craig and Greg's Take on Relationship Challenges

If she truly cares for him and truly loves him, she would understand, but if she's a little bit crazy and a lot self-centered, she won't understand, right, and then it'll be a good way of figuring it out.
Ever found yourself caught between love and family obligations? Episode 22 of 'The Solution' podcast dives into this tricky territory. Craig Dahlen and Greg Carter, the hosts, unpack a listener's heartfelt letter about a dilemma many might relate to. His girlfriend wants him to move to Iowa to live with her and her autistic son, but he fears losing his bond with his teenage daughter.
It's a classic tug-of-war scenario that touches on the intricacies of blended families and long-distance relationships. Craig and Greg bring their own life experiences as recovering addicts into the mix, offering a compassionate yet practical perspective on managing such complex situations.

Their candid conversation sheds light on navigating the school system for autistic children and balancing personal desires with familial responsibilities. If you're grappling with similar issues or just curious about how to handle complicated relationship dynamics, this episode is a must-listen. Craig and Greg's blend of humor, honesty, and heartfelt advice makes for an engaging and insightful discussion.
