One viewer is struggling after her daughter and grandkids moved in following a divorce. On ‘Life Quakes’, hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest therapist Dr. Jude Black shares their advice on setting boundaries, communication, and making this new living situation a positive experience for everyone involved.
