Telling Them I’m Moving in with Boyfriend

Cris Ramos Greene is the author of ​Embrace That Girl​, a memoir about figuring out adulthood and coming to terms with her Cuban-American identity. She talks to Juleyka about breaking the news to her traditional parents that she was moving in with her boyfriend. And, a marriage and family therapist shares strategies to assert your independence without drama.

Our expert this week is Sara Stanizai, a licensed marriage and family therapist owner of Prospect Therapy here in Long Beach, California, a queer and trans affirming therapy practice with a special focus on mental health in first generation American and other bicultural communities.
