Listen and I’ll tell you what they said. https://www.rd.com/article/motion-sickness-glasses/ How can you be in a relationship and still be an individual? It has always been a tricky balance that has gotten even tougher as we have shifted to a more “It’s-all-about-me” culture. Joining me to discuss this is internationally recognized family therapist, speaker, and author Terrence Real. His latest book is titled US: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship (https://amzn.to/3bLzN6N).

Hi, welcome to something you should know. You know, nothing puts a damper on a car trip. Then when somebody says, I don't feel good. I'm going to throw up. I don't feel good at all.

If anyone in your family is prone to car sickness, you've probably heard all the home remedies that are supposed to ease the symptoms.

And there's a new one you should probably be aware of. They have these eyeglasses that supposedly prevent motion sickness. Now, I've never tried them because I typically don't get car sick, but recently readers digest tested them out.
