Wondering what level of involvement and discipline is appropriate for a fiancé to have with a future stepson?  In this episode, Jennifer and Peter have an interactive coaching session with Diana M. She doesn’t know how to keep the peace in her home and preserve the relationship between her son and her fiancé (his future step-father.)  About her fiancé, she says, “My fiancé is telling me what he thinks I should do, very harshly, then I feel like I become defensive.  It just becomes a fight between my fiancé and I and I don’t like that.”  As Peter and Jennifer Diepstraten coach Diana, she sees how attempting peace-keeping in their relationship is likely making things worse and then they guide her to have a conversation with all three of them to create a real partnership and sense of teamwork.  In an a-ha moment, Diana sees a new possibility for her family, “We might have a closer relationship, all three of us, because of it (creating team).  I’m willing to do it!”
