Dragony Aunts

The programme offers guidance to a man struggling to adjust to his parents’ divorce and to a woman uncertain about the appropriate time to introduce new partners to her daughter. It addresses both situations with practical advice aimed at easing the emotional challenges involved.

The episode is an advice‑focused programme that tackles personal dilemmas faced by everyday people. It presents two separate but equally sensitive situations, offering listeners practical guidance rather than narrative drama. The format is straightforward, with each case introduced and then explored through expert input and real‑world suggestions. The first case centres on a man who is finding it hard to come to terms with his parents’ divorce. He feels unsettled and uncertain about how to manage the shift in his family dynamics, and the programme provides him with strategies to cope with the emotional fallout. The second case follows a woman who is uncertain about the right moment to introduce new romantic partners to her daughter, seeking advice on timing and the best approach to protect her child's wellbeing. In addressing the man's struggle, the advice segment outlines ways he can process his feelings, maintain healthy communication with his parents, and establish a sense of stability for himself. It aims to give him tools to navigate the changes without feeling overwhelmed. For the woman’s query, the discussion offers guidance on assessing her daughter's readiness, choosing appropriate circumstances for introductions, and ensuring that any new relationships are presented in a considerate and age‑appropriate manner. Both segments are designed to help the individuals move forward with confidence.
