A member asked:

What do you suggest if my son (8) is jealous of my new boyfriend.?

Reassure him: It sounds as if your son is very attached to you, and is possibly feeling threatened by the attention your new boyfriend is getting. Consider scheduling 'dates' with your son, time set aside for the two of you to spend alone. This may help reassure him of his extreme importance in your life and eventually may lead to some open discussions about the new man in your life and how he feels about it.
